Σε μια παρέα τις προάλλες παίζοντας ένα παιχνίδι με κάρτες, ρωτήθηκα τι θα έκανα αν για μια φορά μπορούσα να είμαι ο απόλυτος άρχων του πλανήτη! Απάντησα μεταξύ άλλων πως θα επέβαλα το μάθημα της Συναισθηματικής Νοημοσύνης σε όλες τις βαθμίδες της εκπαίδευσης! Και να, το κάνει η Δανία στα μικρά παιδιά! Υπάρχει ελπίδα!
In Denmark, children between the ages of 6 and 16 take part in a unique weekly class called “klassens tid” or “class time.” Unlike traditional classes that focus on tests or grades, this time is dedicated to fostering kindness, empathy, and a deeper understanding of others. Children sit together in a safe space to talk openly about their feelings, practice listening to each other, and discuss ways to solve small problems before they turn into bigger issues. This initiative encourages children to reflect on their actions and learn how they impact others, creating a more inclusive and compassionate community.
The lessons go beyond human relationships. Danish schools emphasize the importance of caring for animals, reinforcing that empathy extends to all living things. From nurturing pets to understanding the needs of wildlife, students are taught to appreciate the world around them, fostering a sense of responsibility and respect for all creatures. By including animal welfare in their education, Denmark is ensuring that future generations not only value human connections but also have a deep respect for the natural world.
This innovative approach to education aligns perfectly with Curejoy's mission of holistic well-being—promoting not only physical health but mental and emotional wellness too. Empathy, kindness, and understanding are essential for a healthy life. Just like in Denmark, we can all take small steps toward creating more compassionate communities by adopting the same principles in our daily interactions. Whether through kindness to others or caring for our environment, every small act contributes to a healthier, more harmonious world. 🌱🐾
