Summary
The Bulgy series, whose first season is "Emotion Athletes", has the following purposes:
- transform the difficulties of the pandemic into opportunities for children to recognise what they are feeling, understand the reason, and use their emotions;
- help parents, educators, and health professionals to create a space to talk about emotions with children;
- be entirely free and have no advertising whatsoever;
- make available an emotional literacy course for children aged 5-10 (suggested ages) with 36 educational videos, 5-10 minutes each, activities, songs, and a podcast;
- allow families and schools to access content online and follow the programme flexibly and at their own pace, where each day of activity takes between 10 minutes and 1 hour to complete;
- contribute to the public debate and the development of new school curricula with social and emotional learning programmes like Emotion Athletes;
- produce scientific evidence, through collaboration with university departments for the impact evaluation of this programme in children.
