Can happiness be learned? The GENIALE Children's University invites you to participate

Discovering, exploring, and experiencing happiness together

What makes people happy? At the GENIALE Children's University in Bielefeld, children investigate this exciting question in a scientific and playful way. The lecture combines research from positive psychology with small experiments, team tasks, and practical ideas for everyday family life.

Research that piques children's curiosity

Dr. Angelika Augustine takes children into health sciences and shows how happiness is researched. The young participants learn age-appropriately why helping others can be beneficial, how gratitude enhances life satisfaction, and why overcoming a challenge can trigger good feelings.

Participate instead of just listening

The Children's University focuses on an active learning experience. In small experiments, children can contribute their own thoughts, try out exercises, and share personal moments of happiness. A team task with balloons and a large die promotes movement, children's laughter, and a lively sense of community in the lecture hall.

Educationally valuable time together

The program is aimed at children aged 10 to 13 and conveys knowledge in a child-friendly, understandable, and relatable way. The event fosters curiosity, social development, and the ability to consciously perceive positive feelings. Families take home impulses that can also be addressed in conversations and small exercises at home after the lecture.

Well prepared for the Children's University

For participation, children should bring paper and a pen. The lecture takes place in Lecture Hall Building Y of the University of Bielefeld. Registration is free. Parents and children experience a secure, scientifically accompanied event by the University of Bielefeld and the Faculty of Health Sciences.

Conclusion

The GENIALE Children's University turns a big life question into an entertaining family experience full of wonder, fun learning, and practical ideas. Those who want to know how positive feelings arise and what can bring happiness in everyday life will experience a special children's event in Bielefeld with real added value.
