Luís Manuel Pinto is Director for Programmes and Learning at the Learning for Well-being foundation, where he applies a holistic approach to creating and managing programmes focusing on the intersection between well-being and participation. He is particularly interested in how individual patterns of communication and learning impact relationships —in particular, between children and adults— and how these become pathways for personal and organisational development. His path has been in both formal and non-formal education, working with children, young people and educators. He lives in Lisbon with his husband and his cat.
