Journaling in Schools

ABOUT

“Journaling in schools” is an ambitious project initiated by Alex Badita and Florina Russu and looking to be developed in schools across Romania and internationally. 

We believe that journaling should be taught from early age because it has so many benefits in the emotional and neuro-development of children. Our mission is to encourage over 1,000 middle-school students to start their first journal and fall in love with the art of expressive writing.

“My first journal” is the notebook that all children with ages between 10 and 16 years old should have on their nightstand and in their backpack. 

Self Awareness

After the age of 4, children start to understand their individuality. Building their self-esteem and confidence is crucial for their own discovery

Emotional intelligence

Learning to express their feelings and emotions will develop children's empathy, kindness and compassion

Learning

Studies show that taking notes and writing down the main points of a lesson helps the connection between the short-term and long-term memory

Creativity and imagination

Nurturing young students' imagination with superheroes and stories will evolve into new neural paths and creative ideas

Goals

Becoming accountable for their goals at school and for their future careers helps boost kids' responsibility and expectations management

6 modules with guided questions, creative exercises and recommendations

  1. Self Awareness
  2. Emotions
  3. Relationships with others
  4. Studying
  5. Career
  6. Wellbeing

Children tend to model the behaviour of their parents, so why not get a journal for yourself and maybe invite your little one to join you for 5 minutes every evening, while each of you write in their own journal? It creates a special routine and a magical bonding moment of quality time. Provide the safe space for them to know you are not going to invade their privacy and you will not read what they are writing.
