Attendees can participate in practical workshops such as “Aromas that Care”, focusing on aromatic plants; “Rooted: The Tree of Our Emotions”, a collective artistic construction; and “Resonate: Body, Music, and Your Emotions”, exploring emotions through movement and music.
Other offerings include “Touch, Feel, and Express Yourself”, a space for percussion and free music, and “Badalona for Emotional Well-being: Meeting, Tools, and Guidance”, an information point with professionals to advise on municipal resources.
In the afternoon, from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM, the guided session “Breathe and Connect: Tools for Your Well-being” will be held, focusing on relaxation and emotional management. Children will have their own space with a children's yoga activity designed to help them recognize emotions.
