The maximum number of participants per visit is up to 25 children, in order to ensure the active participation of everyone and the quality of the experience.

Anxiety is a normal reaction of the body to demanding or unpredictable situations. In children and adolescents, anxiety can manifest itself in physical, emotional and behavioral symptoms, affecting their daily functioning, learning process and relationships.

	2. Communication Skills Communication is a key pillar of social interaction and cooperation. In children, the development of communication skills is linked to the ability to express their thoughts and feelings clearly, to listen actively and to respect their interlocutor. Strengthening these skills enhances self-confidence, social adaptation and the creation of positive relationships both inside and outside of school.

4. Emotions
Emotions are an integral part of the human experience and play a crucial role in thinking, behavior and decision-making. In childhood, emotional education contributes significantly to the development of self-regulation, empathy and social skills.

• strengthening the ability to express emotions
• understanding the relationship between thought - feeling - action

5. Conflict Management & Boundary Setting

	6. Self-Regulated Learning & National Examinations Self-regulated learning describes the ability of an individual to organize, monitor and evaluate their learning process. Especially when preparing for demanding exams, such as National Examinations, acquiring self-management strategies reduces stress and increases efficiency. Strengthening internal motivation and self-confidence leads to greater mental resilience and better learning outcomes.

Self-Concept & Self-Confidence Self-concept refers to the personal image that an individual forms of themselves — that is, how they "see", think about and evaluate themselves in relation to their abilities, characteristics, desires and weaknesses. This image is influenced both by internal experiences and by the messages they receive from their family and social environment. Self-confidence is the trust in our capabilities and is directly linked to the quality of self-concept. Children and adolescents with a positive self-image tend to have greater inner strength, to dare, to assert themselves and to progress emotionally and socially. Objectives: • recognition and acceptance of personal identity • connection with personal characteristics, talents, desires and challenges • strengthening positive elements of self-image • understanding the role of self-esteem in everyday life • cultivating self-belief and encouragement for personal development
