Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
"Leisure, Labour, and Active Living: A Holistic Approach" suggests a comprehensive perspective on how individuals engage with various facets of life. Leisure encompasses activities pursued for enjoyment, relaxation, and personal development outside the realm of work or obligation. It emphasizes the importance of downtime, hobbies, and recreational pursuits for mental and emotional well-being. Labour refers to the productive work individuals undertake, whether in the form of employment, entrepreneurship, or domestic responsibilities. It acknowledges the significance of work in providing economic stability, personal fulfilment, and contributing to societal progress. Active living encourages a lifestyle that prioritizes physical activity and healthy habits. This includes exercise, outdoor pursuits, and mindful nutrition choices. Active living promotes overall wellness, longevity, and quality of life. The holistic approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of these elements, recognizing that each contributes to an individual's overall sense of fulfilment and balance. By embracing leisure, labour, and active living in harmony, individuals can cultivate a well-rounded life that promotes both personal growth and societal well-being.
This Special Issue will welcome manuscripts that relate to the following themes:
