Almost 3000 people have booked into a series of lectures

talk about positive psychology and how the scientific
measurement of wellbeing can benefit the whole
community.

SA Strategic Plan - shaping our state by choice, not by
chance
Following one of the biggest consultation
processes in the state's history, the hopes and aspirations
of more than 9,200 South Australians have been used to
update South Australia's Strategic Plan which was launched
via webcast last night.
It's the second time the plan has been
updated since it was first released in 2004.
The 2011 plan contains 100 targets, 21 of
them new, that all fit under new categories - Our Community,
Our Prosperity, Our Environment, Our Health, Our Education
and Our Ideas.
Each target is attached to a goal and a
vision, making it easier to see what we jointly want and how
we plan to get there.
