Abstract

The primary goal of ”POP!" (Proclamation of Positivity) : A Guidebook of Activities and Exercises to Enhance Flourishing at School is to empower educators with practical tools and strategies to enhance the happiness and wellbeing of students within the school environment. By integrating positive psychological activities grounded in the PERMA model, the book aims to cultivate a positive school culture where students thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. Ultimately, the goal is to equip educators with the knowledge and resources they need to create supportive learning environments that promote student

The Erasmus+ Proclamation of Positivity (POP!) project has taken place between 2021 and 2024 and has seen students from Spain, Italy, Hungary and Malta work together to explore the real world use of skills and attitudes imparted by the PERMA Model of Martin Seligman. While the students interacted in week-long mobilities in the different countries, the educators were helped to improve their competences in positive psychology in workshops. The mobilities and training brought people together from different countries, helped share ideas, culture and understanding across borders. Another outcome of this project was a guide book of activities and exercises to enhance flourishing at schools.
