The Power of The Emotional Capital in Education

The emotional capital (EK), this powerful functionning capital which was
missing in economics measurement, is the capital driving heart, mind, soul and
behaviours which could changes the world by changing ourselves. It's a three
levels economics' concept (micro, meso and macro). Developed by Gendron in the
early 2000s, the "Emotional Capital is the stock of the personal and social
emotional competencies that is inherent in the person, useful for personal,
professional and organizational developments, and participates to social
cohesion and has global and personal, economic and social returns". Activating
executive functions, the emotional capital is developed by active positive and
collaborative pedagogy (heutagogy) and by practising mindfulness and
meditation, bringing back the joy of learning by collaborative and creative
learning, re-enchanting teaching. As a means of production, society
contribution and personal developments, each additional investment in EK
yields additional outputs at the three levels helping at performing better
socially, economically and personally. In eudaimonic economics, the EK
participates not only to the socio-economic growth but also to the society'
cohesion and happiness as environmental concerns, underlying the relevance of
education for the social and economic welfare, and the environmental
protection. Thus, there is an emergency to invest in Emotional Capital to
follow Mandela' mottos, to fulfill Sen's lifetime achievement and development
as freedom and feed Gandhi's empowerment and emancipation, to allow a Better
World.
