EQ for every child. POP-UP FESTIVAL is project by global non-profit Six Seconds and partners to bring free resources to volunteers around the world providing emotional intelligence activities for children.
A POP-UP Festival is a hands on learning experience that you create by printing activities, gathering simple materials and inviting people to join the fun. Each volunteer decides which activities to print and adapt to their audience.
Activities range from role play, art projects, mini discussions, and games. These inclusive activities bring emotional intelligence skills our attention and encourage positive relationships.

This Festival was held in a high school, as part of a teacher training. Our town has suffered severe damage during last year’s earthquake and after an evaluation with high school students we found that over half of them show signs of severe depression. The teachers learned how to deal with this situation to better reach the students.

Festivals were held in Nea Kavala refugee camp for Syrians in Northern Greece. We ran a session in the Women’s Space, then the women helped us facilitate a session in our Community Centre for children, translating new emotions vocabulary into various languages Arabic, Kurnanji and Farsi. We also improved our own skills using emotions for working together
