About Together for Wellbeing
Building on over a decade of experience with the Better Learning Programme – developed in collaboration with the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) – NRC is preparing to launch the Together for Wellbeing 2030 (TfW30) initiative in January 2026.
This next-phase initiative responds to the growing global demand for sustainable, evidence-based psychosocial support (PSS) in education by deepening partnerships with national and international actors. TfW30 aims to embed contextualized, scalable PSS approaches into education systems, ensuring long-term impact for children and youth affected by displacement.
