about BEWell
BEWell (Building Engagement and Well-being through Electronic Life-like Learning) is an innovative digital course designed to support mental health and well-being among university students. it integrates evidence-based methods from positive psychology and health education with cutting-edge digital technologies, offering engaging, interactive, and personalized learning experiences that foster mental wellness. the course is grounded in a new theory of well-being (Seligman, 2011; Donaldson, 2019; Kočí, 2024) and develops knowledge and skills across ten key domains of a fulfilling life: positive emotions, engagement, relationships, meaning, achievement, physical health, mindset, environment, financial security, and authenticity. these pillars form the foundation of the course’s individual learning modules.
what problems BEWell solves
current statistics reveal that 20% of university students are diagnosed with serious mental health conditions (WHO, 2023), and approximately 60% experience depression, anxiety, or other forms of psychological distress (Ochnik et al., 2021). by leveraging gamification, AI-driven active discussions with avatars and researchers, and interactive activities, BEWell empowers students not only to manage the inevitable stress of university life but also to enhance their well-being, improve academic performance, and rediscover the joy and excitement of learning (Gan et al., 2022; Ribeiro-Silva et al., 2022; Morgan & Simmons, 2021; Keskin et al., 2020; Lister et al., 2021; Valenzuela-García et al., 2022; Abelson et al., 2022). the ongoing collection of student well-being data, integrated into the course, allows us to respond quickly to their needs and continually adapt course content.
the project addresses pressing issues, including the increasing prevalence of mental health challenges, academic failure, and student attrition, all of which have significant economic impacts on education systems. BEWell creatively overcomes the limitations of traditional tertiary education through innovation, flexibility, accessibility, and its ability to meet the needs of modern students.
our team
our diverse team comprises academics, educators, researchers, and practical education specialists, united by a shared passion for working with students and a commitment to innovation in digital learning. the team is led by Dr. Jana Kočí, Ph.D., an expert in academic well-being in the Czech Republic who is internationally recognized for her work. with 18 years of experience in academia, she brings unique expertise and practical insights to the project.
global aspects of BEWell
advanced technologies make the learning process more targeted, efficient, and adaptable to student needs, market changes, and new regulations compared to static, traditional educational approaches. our target users include universities and students worldwide, primarily in Europe, the USA, and Asia. the project builds on global partnerships with Charles University, 4EU+ alliance universities, and institutions in the USA and Asia, ensuring culturally sensitive and scalable solutions. to date, there is no comparable product on the market while an emerging trend shows that students increasingly prioritize institutions that provide quality campus life and well-being support over institutional prestige.
university students represent a highly specific target group, systematically underserved by many institutions and almost entirely overlooked by the private sector, which has yet to fully explore the potential of modern educational methods. universities often struggle to address student well-being effectively, presenting us with a unique opportunity to become a key partner for universities globally and a dominant force in supporting university students’ mental health and satisfaction. our global expansion is underpinned by the platform’s scalability and adaptability to various cultures and languages.

Anotace
Chcete pracovat na vlastním well-beingu, studovat ve větší pohodě – a dost možná i úspěšněji? Pak by pro vás tento kurz mohl být tou správnou volbou. Univerzity v poslední době zaznamenávají zvýšený zájem o studium tohoto fenoménu a samy chtějí well-being svých studentů aktivně podporovat. Tento celosemestrální on-line kurz je navržený tak, aby účastníkům poskytl hlubší porozumění nejnovějších přístupů a teorií. Výsledkem je osvojení návyků budujících vlastní pohodu, která pozitivně ovlivní nejen vás, ale i vaše studijní výsledky. Na každém z plánovaných webinářů se stručně podíváme na nejnovější vědecké poznatky z oblasti well-beingu, představíme si výzkumem ověřené aktivity budující pohodu a vyzkoušíme si, jak takové aktivity aplikovat do každodenního života studenta. Začneme společným zhodnocením dat získaných v oboru pozitivní psychologie v posledních dvou desetiletích. Pozornost zaměříme na relativně nový rámec podpory well-beingu, PERMA5, který představuje základní stavební kameny štěstí, na jež se zaměříme v průběhu následujícího semestru. Probereme například fyzické zdraví, pozitivní myšlení, vytváření pozitivního prostředí, ekonomické bezpečí, pozitivní emoce, angažovanost, dobré vztahy, smysl života, úspěch a naší autenticitu. Společně se webinář po webináři prostřednictvím přednášek, skupinových diskusí a procvičovacích aktivit naučíme pečovat o svůj well-being, díky němuž si kousek po kousku poskládáme spokojený studentský život.
