Lotta introduced the audience of TEDxOtaniemiED to the role of happiness in school contexts and exploring such related themes as social belonging, sense of significance and building on ones existing strengths. As Lotta is a firm believer in embracing positive values, seizing moments of success and compassion, these formed the foundation for her speech at TEDxOtaniemiED.

The talk is illustrated with Sketchnotes by Linda Saukko-Rauta at www.redanredan.fi.
