What's on offer?

Join us for a fun, family-friendly half-term event for children aged 5–12 and their caregivers!

Children can explore emotions through art, games, mindfulness, and kindness activities — with prizes for participation. Caregivers can join expert talks and Be Free Campaign workshops to discover practical ways to support children’s emotional wellbeing.

Enjoy refreshments and take home an Emotion Toolkit (while stocks last) to keep the learning going at home.

What's it about?

This event is designed to help children and families explore, express, and manage emotions through fun, interactive, hands-on activities such as art, games, mindfulness, and kindness activities. Children will learn skills that boost confidence, resilience, and wellbeing.

Caregivers can hear directly from psychologists about children’s emotional wellbeing and join a Be Free Campaign workshop to discover practical strategies for supporting their child’s wellbeing.

At the end of the day, each family will receive an Emotion Toolkit (while supplies last) to continue learning at home. Everyone will leave with new skills, confidence, and practical resources to nurture children’s emotional wellbeing.

Who's leading the event?

The event is led by Michelle Tornquist, Lecturer of Psychology at the University of Liverpool, and Belén López-Pérez, Lecturer of Psychology at the University of Manchester, whose research together explores emotions and the ways we manage them in everyday life.

The event is open to all families but is best suited for children aged 5–12 and their caregivers.
