Workshops for children and adolescents
The current generation suffers more from emotional disorders than previous generations. Children are more lonely and depressed, more prone to aggressive and impulsive behaviour, more prone to worry. The interaction of different factors leads children to behave according to social norms and expectations or to engage in risky behaviour. Risky behaviours are actions taken by an individual with a high risk of negative consequences for their physical and mental health and for their social environment, including aggression, violence, neglect of school duties, use of stimulants, etc. In our developmental activities for children and adolescents, we focus on discovering the child's individual potential, building healthy habits and developing constructive ways to achieve life goals. The result of these activities is to support institutional education in building a healthy and wise society.
Increased motivation
Children learn to evoke desirable emotions to increase their motivation to act, and to modify situations to reduce emotional and behavioural responses in difficult situations.
Improved self-control
An increased ability to recognise, name and accept emotions promotes their control, making it easier to deal with delayed gratification and frustration.
Increased mental resilience
Young people will discover their own resources for coping with stress, natural ways of dealing with difficult situations, and the importance of continually building mental resilience.
Increased self-confidence
By developing a positive attitude to failure and the ability to manage their own emotions, students will be able to build an authentic self-presentation based on their strengths.Core topics – content of training cycle
