Supplementary file 2_Designing for lifelong well-being: a pragmatic conceptual framework to bridge the intention–practice gap across educational and professional contexts.docx

Within this paradoxical landscape, the intention–practice gap reflects the dynamic interaction and relationship between individuals’ inner experience and the nested systems that shape daily life. This article introduces the ϴ-Framework for Lifelong Well-Being (ϴ-LLW), a pragmatic and conceptual approach informed by systems thinking, eudaimonic well-being, and adult learning theory.

LLW is understood as a multidimensional and contextually embedded process oriented towards a sense of coherence, experienced as life harmony and supported by the relational unity between inner experience and outer nested systems. The framework is enacted through a flexible learning architecture grounded in design-based learning principles, integrating reflective prompts, micropractices, and supportive environmental conditions.
