Conference – “laughter is Health 2016”

CONFERENCE – “LAUGHTER IS HEALTH 2016”
29 - 30 October in Lisbon

The main objective of this conference is to convey the importance of laughter and its benefits on our physical, mental and emotional states, as well as transmit the importance of caring for ourselves. In this manner, we hope to pass on our well-being to others and make the world a better place. In order to achieve this significant goal, we have invited several relevant national and international personalities; psychologists, psychiatrists, naturalists, orators, laughter leaders, trainers, doctors, etc. All guest speakers will establish the relationship between the therapy they pursue and laughter and how in conjunction these two factors succeed in promoting a higher quality of life on both a personal level and collective level.
