Back to school, the foundation of happiness

Experiences from the previous period have taught us that learning requires a motivating factor and that only a satisfied and smiling child has an openness to new knowledge and strengthening their competencies. After a long period of online teaching and partial use of the living word, we believe it is necessary to find a new way that would make it easier for teachers and parents to make their children happy.

Teachers should be provided with instructions and training to motivate students, as well as instructions for selecting and implementing a happiness curriculum. Teachers usually focus only on students ’academic skills and do not pay attention to the importance of their social and emotional skills. With this, we conclude that teachers also need additional education and gaining new knowledge on how to make their students happy.

Parents of students are not teachers and often students do not have the support of their parents due to parental work, but also due to the inability of parents to help students in mastering school materials. Therefore, it is necessary for this project to provide support to parents in order to participate with the help of teachers in creating a curriculum of happiness for students.

The realization of such a project would significantly affect the healthy development of mental and physical health in students, and would help parents and students in the realization of this idea.

The aim of this project is to develop a social and emotional curriculum with an emphasis 

on happiness in order to stimulate motivation in students, and thus train teachers and parents on how to approach students and create conditions for their happiness, and then enable students to use independently and allow suggestions progress (based on experience). 

This project will be based on objectives such as collecting good practices from schools and creating a booklet with best practices in social and emotional training at EU level, developing a social and emotional curriculum with an emphasis on happiness as a basis for motivating students.

One of the goals is to develop training programs for teachers with an emphasis on happiness to improve student creativity by creating an atmosphere and thinking of students.

Creating a motivational application for avatar is the goal that will be the main bearer of this project. Creating an online AVATAR character will help you gain new knowledge by applying IT technologies in a very simple and effective way to reach school age children. Students will be satisfied with an interesting character, but they will also be eager to learn the teaching content in a completely new way, which will evoke the stated feelings.
