Who We Are

The Laughter Online University (LOU) is a world leading supplier of online education on Laughter Wellness. Our vision is to create a happier planet. Our mission is to inspire and empower our students with practical, reliable, and sustainable tools and techniques designed to raise people’s vibration and improve their personal and professional lives.

LOU was founded by Sebastian Gendry, creator of the Laughter Wellness method, who acknowledged early in 2011 that we now live in a digital age and the ways in which we work, socialize and learn are changing. People are now used to receiving a continuous stream of digital information at a fast pace and incorporating it into their daily working and social lives – so why should the way we learn new skills be any different? Online learning is an extremely valuable additional element to face-to-face trainings which supports and enriches existing teaching practices.

What makes us special

Beyond the quality of the education it offers, LOU’s success comes from its visionary strategy and supporting structure, professional standards, systems, and support.

Strategy

The key business strategy for LOU is to provide online training (user-centered) and not just training online (teacher-centered). The key benefit is that the training and progress of the trainee is in the hands of the individual, as they can do it in their own time, at their own pace, to their own level, from anywhere, using most modern internet-enabled devices.

Structure

LOU has been designed with an element of variability that enables trainees to start at any level, and then progress from that point. This means that everyone from a “learner laugher” to an already “trained professional,” can join the program and advance from that point.

Standards

We have taken the process of quality seriously. All levels have been designed to ensure that the trainee transforms through learning, rather than merely gains information from reading. Our online trainings provide the unique opportunity for people to advance with rigorous assessment. Our trainings are peer-reviewed and validated.

Systems

The systems we use have been developed over many years. They are unique in that they are a refreshing, substantiated, and low cost approach to overall wellness that’s grounded in science and cognitive psychology. Our comprehensive soft skill games database for example allows facilitators to easily access and retrieve out of hundreds of entries the exercises best adapted to the needs of each of their groups within minutes, thus relieving any kind of performance anxiety.

Support

LOU offers continuing and interactive online support so its students are never left with their problems unresolved.
