Happiness Toolbox Summer Program 2022

Happiness Toolbox is rooted in positive education and was co-designed by BRIDGE founding staff trained in positive psychology, holistic psychology and diversity leadership. This year we will be learning about resilience, building a growth mindset, and using your voice and creativity to find your place while make a difference in our world. Our Languages for 2022 are: Spanish, French and Coding! The research-based Character Strengths & Virtues we all possess as a global community show our internal diversity and we will be exploring how to spot those and also how to fill the personal buckets we all hold with happiness!
