EDUCATION x HAPPINESS

EDUCATION x HAPPINESS
🌟 EDUCATION x HAPPINESS 🌟
Last week I had a conversation that really stayed with me. 📚💛✨
During a HAPPINESS x EDUCATION workshop with Floor, Saskia, Laura and Angenita — four passionate teachers and the founders of Bewust onderwijs (Conscious Education) — I felt how deeply stress, tension and disconnection are shaping today’s classrooms.
It sharpened my concern that our education system teaches us to “succeed”… but not how to actually live — with joy, meaning or a sense of self.
Cause let’s be honest: Who among us – in our younger years – learned to:
🧘♂️sit still
💛 feel and handle emotions
✨appreciate small things
🤝 connect deeply
💫 imagine a future that feels true to who we are?
Truth is: most of us only start learning these skills when life hits hard: burnout, loss, depression, feeling stuck.
🌱 That’s why this meeting mattered.
These teachers saw rising stress in kids, teachers and parents alike — and decided to break the cycle.
In 2024 they launched Bewust onderwijs, bringing mindfulness, gratitude and emotional literacy into the classroom. The result:
🌿 calmer kids
🪷 deeper connection,
🎯 more focus,
🌈 more joy.
Now they’re ready to share it more widely. And I’m committed to support them, because I truly believe:
“Jong geleerd is oud gedaan.”
(What you learn young, you carry for life.)
To be continued…
