 Acts of kindness (activities in which we offer to others)
 Light physical exercising (activities in which we work with our bodies)

 Work with peers (activities in which we share, talk, listen, empower)
 Cooking (activities in which we prepare food, at least once during the training)

In particular, participants developed understanding about the theory of happiness and positive psychology, they enriched their toolbox of activities in the framework of positive non-formal education and they are inspired to work further in the topic
