🌈 Growing Emotionally Stronger: EMBRACE Launches Module 3!

 

In Romania, nearly one-third of adolescents aged 11-15 report feeling sad almost weekly, more than double the EU average. This underscores the need to teach kids emotional resilience early.

That’s why EMBRACE Future is launching Module 3: “I am fine with my emotions”, a hands-on journey through emotional recognition, expression, and self-regulation.

 

In this module, kids and teenagers aged 6-18 explore:

• How to identify and name emotions in themselves and others
  • How emotions show up in our bodies, behaviors, and communication
  • How to express feelings in healthy, respectful ways
  • How positive emotions support motivation, empathy, and confidence
• How to apply emotional regulation strategies like calming techniques, anger and fear management, and self-control

 

Students are invited to reflect, share, and grow in supportive classroom settings, using tools like discussion prompts, group activities, role-play, and personal reflection.

 

As with Module 2, Module 3 will be piloted in 10 schools across Iași, Bacău, and Vaslui counties during September-October 2025, reaching hundreds of students aged 6-18.
