Abstract

This paper invites us to reflect on the implications of the concept of Living Well in education on the basis of the constitutional mandates and Educational Law in Bolivia, where Good Living is presented as an epistemological severance from the concepts of wisdom and traditional knowledge. It poses the challenge of developing an educational structure from a biocentric approach whereby life is the crux of the connection between human beings, community, nature/mother earth, and the cosmos. The analysis of the topic branches off into four sections: the first section focuses on the positioning vis-à-vis reality whereby we are faced with a dilemma, do we adapt to or rebel against the context?; the second touches on several aspects that allow us to reflect on our understanding of Living Well; the third is about the implications of the principle of Living Well in education; and lastly, the fourth, which addresses the need to decolonise education.
