1 POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY In the implementation of positive education, the positive psychologist and author Moore extends the traditional principles of education to the study of happiness and prosperity, using the Seligman model PERMA and the classification of character strengths and virtues of VIA (Moore, 2021). In 2015, the authors Norrish and Seligman added the sixth element of Health: aspects of positive health education are sleep, exercise and diet (Norrish & Seligman, 2015 in Moore, 2021). In 2004 positive education programs specify the positive character of an individual's personality by classifying 6 categories of virtues and the 24 strengths of VIA by Peterson and Seligman: The virtue of wisdom and knowledge for the cognitive aspect: the more curious and creative, with the manifestation of critical thinking, a person becomes in the course of knowledge and learning, the more actively he will love the course of cognition, gain wisdom and open the door to a more promising and meaningful future. The virtue of courage for the emotional aspect: the more a person shows bravery, perseverance, and diligence with an honest life credo, the more he retains his vitality and integrity for the next few days. The virtue of humanity for a social point of view: the more love he devotes, the more love he feels, he approaches others carefully, those perhaps socially weaker, in need, he shows altruism, he pays attention to his acquaintances, friends and family, when he shows emotional and social intelligence. The virtue of justice for the civic perspective: to be an active leader, loyal, socially responsible, fair citizen and team member in building a healthy and stable society. The virtue of temperance for the protective aspect: to be moderate, forgiving, to forgive others, to live in humility, mercy, balance, to prudently control one’s behaviour, control, instincts, and self-regulation. The virtue of transcendence for the semantic aspect: to feel hope and to experience optimistic moments in life with a sense of humour and playfulness, to be enthusiastic about beauty and perfection in life, to show gratitude, inspiration, admiration, compassion, love to seek meaning and purpose of life, i.e. spiritual spirituality through when emotional and spiritual well-being are complemented and manifested by human prosocial behaviour (Peterson, Seligman, 2004, in Taher, 2016). s 19 e
