About us
WISE arose as a partnership between Carol Surya (psychologist, author, game developer and Biodanza facilitator) and fellow Biodanza facilitator, sculptural artist, children’s book author and event/festival organizer – Carmen Clews. Their successful companies, Raising Kids Positively and Magnificent Kids, both creating unique wellness tools, dreamt of a new way forward to reach and teach more children and offer help to disadvantaged communities.
Training
Our strategy emphasizes both protective and promotive elements that together contribute to child-wellbeing.
The protective element focuses on developing the social, emotional, mental and spiritually health of adults working with children.
The promotive element, aimed at ensuring children have every opportunity to flourish, focuses on building the skills of- and providing the resources for adults to facilitate children’s wellbeing.
The combination of preventative and promotive elements in WISE’s offering provides schools and child care organizations with the foundation, method and tools to ensure measurable staff- and child wellbeing improvement outcomes. We teach practical holistic tools to improve children’s self-esteem, emotional intelligence and wellbeing
