Inside

Discovering, understanding, and exploring emotions together

Why does the heart race with excitement? Where does anger actually sit? In the Emotion Lab “How does that feel?” children and parents embark on an exciting journey through the world of feelings. The family experience combines children's laughter, curiosity, and fun learning with understandable insights into the development and regulation of emotions.

Interactive stations for curious families

At interactive stations like the “Feelings Quiz” and the “Body Detective”, emotions are explored in a playful manner. Families match emotions to typical everyday situations, pay attention to physical signals, and try age-appropriate strategies for dealing with strong emotions.

Experiencing psychological research in a child-friendly way

The open offer makes developmental psychological and psychotherapeutic research directly experienceable. Children and adults discover together how feelings manifest in the body and what simple impulses can help in family life. The learning experience remains close to life, understandable and child-friendly.

For children aged 6 to 13 years and their parents

The Emotion Lab is aimed at families as well as children aged 6 to 9 and from 10 to 13 years. No prior knowledge is required. Children under 10 years must participate accompanied by an adult. This creates a safe environment where questions, observations, and personal experiences can be addressed.

An offer from the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

The offer was developed by the University Clinic for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy of the Evangelical Hospital Bethel. The focus is on emotional development, emotional regulation, and the question of what children and adolescents need for healthy growth.

Conclusion: Families can expect a free, interactive, and educationally valuable family experience with exciting experiments around feelings, body awareness, and shared learning. Those who want to empower children and better understand emotions in everyday life will experience a special afternoon full of wonder and practical impulses in the Knowledge Workshop Bielefeld.
