Second Pilot Phase Begins – With Fresh Energy and Improvements

Dear Community,

We are delighted to announce the launch of the “second pilot phase” of the Happy Power program. Building on the feedback gathered during the first implementation, we’ve made key improvements to both the WebApp and the educational methodology.

What’s New in This Pilot?
Thanks to the feedback from students and teachers, we’ve applied the following updates:
– Replaced complex activities (e.g., PERMA) with simpler, more accessible ones like daily gratitude exercises.
– Reformulated reflection questions to be more relatable and impactful.
– Reduced overly long lists and writing tasks in favor of shorter, focused interactions.
– Improved translation consistency and technical usability.

Listening to Real Voices
Throughout this phase, we’ve also gathered interviews with teachers and students to capture their experience with the Happy Power program. These testimonials offer insights into how the program has influenced personal growth, teaching practices, and emotional well-being in the classroom.

Insights from the Third Advisory Board
On October 21, 2025, we held our third Advisory Board meeting. Professionals and experts from across Europe joined us to discuss the progress of the second pilot and key results from work packages WP2, WP3, and WP4. Together, we reflected on updates to the Ubiqua platform and outlined communication strategies for improved dissemination.

We’re grateful for the commitment of our Advisory Board. Their guidance helps us shape Happy Power into a powerful tool for change in higher education.

Let’s Stay Connected!
We’re proud of the collaborative energy fueling this second pilot. More than a digital platform, Happy Power is a living educational movement — and you’re part of it.
