Abstract

This special issue emerges from the working consortium of nations brought together to focus on Georgia on an Erasmus+ project to improve the well-being of the academic communities in Georgia. The articles presented here reflect the approach of the consortium in that it takes examples of European activity in a wide range of well-being contexts for youth and university students and uses them as a foregrounding for three studies of the current context in Georgia. In this way, the coherence of the articles is read across experienced European perspectives, both national and disciplinary, and the emerging understanding of context in Georgia. We present the articles as two clusters. The first of three European articles referencing Spain, UK, France, Poland, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Italy, and Portugal, which provide a comparative context for three Georgia articles, which illustrate the importance of well-being to social cohesion, to students and then to academic flourishing.
