This process is executed using psychopedagogical techniques applied in happiness classes, based on the "Theory of Happiness" by Tal Ben-Shahar, PhD. This theory seeks to understand and promote happiness and well-being. Individuals who experience higher levels of happiness tend to reap positive outcomes in various areas of their lives. The presence of positive emotions such as joy, gratitude, and contentment are encouraged during the application of this methodology, along with the strengthening of emotional resilience and the ability to cope with challenges. Happy individuals enjoy healthier and more satisfying interpersonal relationships, cultivating meaningful bonds. Food plays a critical role in the educational process.

Pedagogically, we use educational, socio-emotional, sports, cultural, environmental workshops, and other extracurricular activities to stimulate social participation of the attendees, developing their potential, self-esteem, and critical thinking regarding their social space and self-sustainability methods.
