What does it mean to have meaning in life? What strategies can promote its development in school and family settings? The meaning of life is often related to having higher levels of happiness, positive affect, adequate coping with difficult situations and, in general, better physical and mental health. However, recent data show that nearly half of Colombian university students consider their life to be meaningless, an alarming situation since it is known that those who do not see meaning in their lives tend to consume more drugs, suffer from greater depression, have more social prejudices and, in general, higher levels of unhappiness. The conference will address the conceptualization of what we understand by meaning in life and will outline specific tools to be able to work on this topic as a family, seeking that attendees, at the end of the conference, can take away practical tools to increase their own meaning and that of their children.
