académie du bien vivre
French to English

Corporate Social Responsibility
This is from a French academic paper that analyses interviews with small business owners in France regarding their approach to corporate social responsibility.
One of the owners talks about wanting to engage her employees and perhaps even clients in creating: "une académie du bien vivre où il s’agira de voir comment changer un certain nombre d’habitudes personnelles ou collectives pour mieux manger, moins polluer, mieux construire etc."
It's just one quote out of many from various business owners, so the rest of the text doesn't help much, but it's all related to these owners' ideas about and approaches to CSR in the broadest sense.
Le 'bien-vivre' is always a pain to translate, so I usually work around it in some way. But not sure how to work around the notion of 'academy', especially since there is no other information about it. I'd be tempted to use an ecological/green term given the few examples offered, but that may be too specific since the paper covers CSR more generally.
I could put something like "living well academy" or "academy of good living", but those don't sound that great to met. Any more creative ideas out there?
UK english ok.
Thanks!

: where does integrative enter into the term actually asked?/but it's not in the original term. I don't agree with over-translation/embellishment. I do agree more with lifestyle than wellness. Wellness goes of into other directions

: Wellness doesn't work in my opinion, because it's also about your impact on other people ("moins polluer"). But lifestyle is good.

an academy to promote healthier lifestyle(s) / of health challenges
Healthy Lives, Healthy People: Our strategy for public health in England
The dilemma for government is this: it is simply not possible to promote healthier lifestyles through Whitehall diktat and nannying about the way people should live. Recent years have proved that onesize-fits-all solutions are no good when public health challenges vary from one neighbourhood to the next. But we cannot sit back while, in spite of all this, so many people are suffering such severe lifestyle-driven ill health and such acute health inequalities.

sustainable development academy
The term is quite popular on Google, there's even a real 'academy' who does that. :D

: "The term is quite popular on Google" ? So what??? In which way does it make suitable for this particular ST? That sounds like the methods of the not-so-good probabilistic Machine Translation ... advocated by protein-based "translation devices"?

If you don't like it, don't like it. But don't go all personal attack and flame on me. I'm a SEO specialist, it's my job to find words that give the most visibility to clients.
