Don’t Just Tell Me It Will Be OKAY! 🌱🤝
As part of the Children Forum 2025 ateliers, children and teenagers explored emotional awareness, resilience, and how to express feelings in a safe space.
Parents, educators, policymakers, and youth gathered in Bucharest to share tools and experiences for promoting emotional well-being and digital balance.
During the workshop “Don’t Just Tell Me It Will Be OKAY”, children and young people explored how to understand and manage emotions like stress and anxiety. Together, they created their own “well-being maps”. Colorful, personal guides showing what helps them feel safe and connected. Through creative exercises such as rainbow breathing, happiness boxes, and grounding techniques, participants learned simple ways to take care of their mental health and support one another.
📽️ In this new animation (created by Evolutionary Archetypes Consulting SL (EAC)) Leo works through his emotions on his mental health journey, he is supported by his friends and guided by his inner voices, Maya+ and Leo+.
