festivalul pop-up emotional.. To celebrate the United Nations’ Universal Children’s Day, November 20, allies in 100+
countries, signed up for the free activity kit on emotions, wellbeing & children's rights

-What is a POP-UP Festival?

A POP-UP Festival is a hands-on learning experience that you create by printing the activity “stations,” gathering simple
materials, and inviting people to come together to learn & play. Each host decides which “stations” to print and adapts to their
audience.

-Why are you doing this? Can you explain more what it is?
Why? It’s the most important work there is. If we can raise awareness, inspire hope, and fuel passion for young people to
develop the skills for building the future… and adults with the skills to support them… everything is possible.
-The United Nations declared Universal Children’s Day to encourage societies to support the wellbeing of children. November
20th is the anniversary of the signing of Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most widely-signed human rights legislation
in the history of the world. The purpose of the day, according to the U.N. is:
“Let us promote and celebrate children’s rights on the Universal Children’s Day, and continuously build
up a living-friendly environment for children in the world through dialogue and actions.”. To celebrate,
we’re holding POP-UP Festivals in 100+ countries this November — where children and their adults will learn about
emotions, wellbeing, and children’s right

-What happens after I sign up?

Sign up to hold a POP-UP Festival — for ANY size group of children, adults, or both together. You can sign up as an individual
volunteer or as an organization. Either way, here’s what you’ll receive:
A welcome email with our timeline, and invitation to help with translation and sharing of the event
 Invitation to online meetings / webinars to discuss preparations — please also join our Facebook Group for additional Q&A .
A link to download resources to help you spread the word (slides, letter, invitation) that you can translate if needed, and begin
scheduling your event(s).
A link to the POP-UP Festival Kit, which includes:
Instructions on how to organize your event(s) and prepare
A chart of the “stations” to help you choose which you want to use (and materials for each — these are “simple” things like
pens, tape, paper)
The printable “stations” + associated handouts, cards/games, etc — volunteers are translating these into many languages, and
you can help translate to your language.
The POP-UP Festival “stations” include a wide range of activities. You choose the ones that fit your group, print them,
and have a learning-together-party!

-Where can POP-UP Festivals be held?

Anywhere!
Your POP-UP Festival can be held at home, in a classroom or church, at an office lobby, a children’s museum, in the park…
anywhere children and the people who love them live, work & play.
It really depends on what’s available to you / your friends & allies / and who you want to invite. Many people are planning a
POP-UP Festival in their home with a few friends. Some are planning to hold dozens of Festivals in every school in their town…
it’s a very adaptable project!

Who can hold a POP-UP Festival?

Everyone who cares about children who is able to…
 Bring a group of 2+ people together
 Find a space where the group will be able to gather (you’ll need either floor space or tables for the activities)
 Read through the materials, choose activities
 Print the activity instruction “stations” and the handouts or cards or other printable materials
 Gather simple resources like coloring pens/pencils, tape, color paper
 Welcome participants to explore and learn and play together in a loving, joyful experience
Many people are volunteering together with a friend or small group.
Volunteers so far include parents, police officers, teachers, teen service club members, nurses, nuns & other clergy members,
club leaders, human resource departments, counselors, employee relations departments, union leaders, and more!

How can nonprofits / NGOs / community orgs participate?

If your work or community group relates to children’s rights, wellbeing, or emotional intelligence — join as an organization:
1. Invite your members to sign up on http://6sec.org/ucd to hold their own POP-UP Festivals
2. Contribute content by making a POP-UP Festival “station” that people around the world can use in their events
3. Have a POP-UP Festival with your organization / team
4. Help translate the kit
5. Help us spread the word by engaging influencers, journalists, bloggers to share about the event

How easy is it to run a POP-UP Festival? Do I need special training?

POP-UP Festival materials were designed to be easy to deliver. It’s not a “presentation” or a “workshop” — the stations are
self-guided, designed for children (who can read) or adults & children together, or adults, to explore, talk, play and learn-by-
doing.
We will be holding optional “host trainings” online to answer your questions and give you support before you host your
festival. In addition, you are very welcome to ask questions and get support in our Facebook Group.
There is no special equipment, materials or training needed to be a host! The requirements are simple (see the question above,
“Who can hold a POP-UP Festival?”)
There are a range of festival stations to choose from, so if some seem too complex, no problem, you can skip those.  
Are the materials in my language?

We have translators working to get the materials into 15 languages at this time. Please register to review our current list of
languages. 

If you can help translate we would love to have you volunteer.  Contact maria.jackson@6seconds.org for translation questions.

When is the event? Do I have to celebrate on November 20?

In honor of the UN’s Universal Children’s Day on November 20 we have created POP-UP Festivals for November 2017. 
 
You can host a festival anytime during the month of November!  Get it on the calendar today.

Who should attend? What's the right age for a POP-UP Festival?
You audience can be children, adults, or both together.
 
Children
POP-UP Festival stations have been created for a wide range of ages.  There are stations that will work well for children under
5-year-olds, 5-12, 13-18, and adults.
 
This age-group information is listed at the top of the host instructions for each activity station.  Because you are
creating a festival that’s just for your audience, you can choose the stations that work best.  
 
For young children who are not reading yet, you’ll need to adapt to have older children or adults who can help.
 
Teens
Several of the activities are ideal for teens for their own learning. Others are too “childish” for teens. So, you’ll need to
select the activities tagged for teens. In addition, a wonderful role for teen participants is to ask them to be the hosts of the
festival for parents + younger children. It’s helpful to have someone at each station who knows the game/exercise and can
explain it… especially for people who don’t read yet.

 
Adults
The POP-UP Festival will be extra-fun for adults+children together, but it’s meaningful and interesting for adults only. They’ll
learn more about their own emotions & wellbeing… and about how to support and communicate with children.
 
Adults could be parents, teachers, counselors, doctors & nurses, police officers, youth group facilitators…etc etc etc
— basically anyone who has some interest in the future generation.

Where can I find photos and press releases?

Please check out the media kit for fast facts, press releases, photos & videos, and social media resources:
http://www.6seconds.org/ucd/media/

How can help? I love this idea!

What we most need is energy & influence to engage more people in this global party! So help us spread the word about POP-
UP Festivals.  We’d love to get as many people around the world to join us. 

Can you help us amplify on social media?  Please check out our social media page for sharing on FB, Twitter, IG,
LinkedIn. http://www.6seconds.org/ucd/media/social/ 

Do you know journalists, bloggers, or others with a big reach?

Tell them about the event and get them to the media kit here: http://www.6seconds.org/ucd/media/

In your network do you know leaders of nonprofits who’s members would like to join?
How about people in companies who can hold a POP-UP Festival in their office/workplace for employees and/or community
members?

Other ideas? Please come discuss on our Facebook Group here. Or please fill in the form below to contact us directly

The Six Seconds EQ Model

by Joshua Freedman | Jan 27, 2010 | EQ Business, EQ Education, EQ Life, EQ Parenting, Six Seconds | 12 comments
The Six Seconds model turns emotional intelligence theory into practice for your personal and professional life.
Emotional intelligence is the capacity to blend thinking and feeling to make optimal decisions — which is key to having a
successful relationship with yourself and others. To provide a practical and simple way to learn and practice emotional
intelligence, Six Seconds developed a three-part model in 1997 as a process – an action plan for using emotional intelligence in
daily life.
This model of EQ-in-Action begins with three important pursuits: to become more aware (noticing what you do), more
intentional (doing what you mean), and more purposeful (doing it for a reason).
Know Yourself
Clearly seeing what you feel and do. 
Emotions are data, and these competencies allow you to accurately collect that information.
Choose Yourself
Doing what you mean to do.
Instead of reacting “on autopilot,” these competencies allow you to proactively respond.
Give Yourself
Doing it for a reason.
These competencies help you put your vision and mission into action so you lead on purpose and with full integrity.
 
Know Yourself gives you the “what” – when you Know Yourself, you know your strengths and challenges, you know what you
are doing, what you want, and what to change.
Choose Yourself provides the “how” – it shows you how to take action, how to influence yourself and others, how to
“operationalize” these concepts.
Give Yourself delivers the “why” – when you Give Yourself you are clear and full of energy so you stay focused why to
respond a certain way, why to move in a new direction, and why others should come on board.
 You’ll notice we present the model in a CIRCLE – it’s not a list, it’s a process!  The process works when you spin it, like a
propeller moving a ship.  As you move through these three pursuits you gain positive momentum!
Plus, here’s an intro to the model by Joshua Freedman, our CEO
 

Eight Competencies of Emotional Intelligence

“Under” the three pursuits live eight specific, learnable, measurable competencies.  They’re measured through the Six Seconds
Emotional Intelligence Assessment – or SEI.  Here are the eight competencies – with definitions below:

At the core, emotional intelligence is something to BE.  By being more emotionally intelligent, smarter with feelings, you will
more accurately recognize emotions in yourself and others.  This data will help you make decisions and craft effective solutions
to the “life puzzles” you face each day.  It’s also important to put it in action – hence the verbs.  The three pursuits – and the
eight competencies – are actions.

FOG – How To Use Emotional Intelligence: Free Poster
by Joshua Freedman | Apr 24, 2013 | EQ Education, EQ Parenting | 9 comments

Fill in the form below for a free FOG poster!

We all have emotional intelligence – the challenge is using it!  In the midst of hurt and frustration, it seems so much easier to
just stomp our feet… or hurt someone back…. or run away…. What action will actually solve the problem?  
To answer, all we need is a little emotional intelligence.  It’s actually an incredibly simple idea: If we get thinking and feeling
working together, we make better choices.  

How to use emotional intelligence?

At Six Seconds, we’ve developed a 3-step process to put emotional intelligence into action.  Recently, I wrote about stepping
through fear, and described the steps as FOG.  Want to make an emotionally intelligent choice?  
FOG:
F:  Feelings.  What’s going on inside?
O: Options.  How could I respond?
G: Goals.  Why might I move forward?
 
The same steps apply when solving a problem between people… FOG for social problem solving or conflict resolution:
F:  Feelings.  What does each person feel?  What is each person doing?
O: Options.  How could we respond to each other? What choices can we make?
G: Goals.  Why might we move forward?  What’s our real goal?
 
By the way, these three steps are just another way of talking about the Six Seconds Model of Emotional Intelligence.  F is about
“Know Yourself.”  O is for “Choose Yourself.”  G is a shorthand for “Give Yourself.”

Noa Mendelevitch, one of Six Seconds’ amazing educators, and a specialist on unlocking creativity, created a FOG poster for
classrooms and everywhere.  This should be a wonderful resource for sharing emotional intelligence with children (of all

ages! 
 The Fog of Fear
by Joshua Freedman | Mar 13, 2013 | EQ Life, Six Seconds | 14 comments
Are we running scared? 
 As a business leader, I’m afraid that I don’t know what’s happening even one quarter out.
 As a parent, I’m afraid I’m not doing what’s best for my kids – especially when so much is coming unglued all around.
 As a person, I’m afraid we’re lost.
Newtown.  Recession.  Floods.  The endless news cycles churning out grim truths.  Political “leaders” who can’t even talk to
one another.
In this context of spiraling fear and reactivity – as we whirl around the reaction cycle, our brains are wired to become more
protective.  The stress response pushes us to react in simplistic ways: fight, flee, freeze.  In turn, this exacerbates the tension
as we become more impatient and hostile with one another, more disconnected, and more focused on seeing threats.
It’s easy to see fear as the “bad guy” – it’s damn uncomfortable, so it must be “bad,” right?  Aren’t we all “supposed to be”
happy all the time?  With that logic, pretty soon we’re afraid (and angry) about how much fear we’re experiencing!  Instead, a
more useful antidote is seeing that fear, like all emotions, is a message.  Reading the message takes emotional intelligence –
or “EQ” – which is thoughtfully using the data from our feelings to make better decisions.
When life is easy, when all is good, we don’t need strength.  Sipping margaritas on the beach doesn’t require a lot of insight. 
It’s when life gets tough that we have to reach deeper and summon our resources.  When it’s emotionally messy, when fear is
escalating, the resource we need is EQ.
Fortunately, the skills of emotional intelligence are measurable and learnable.  They’re real.  We can stand on them.  Next
week, at the Virtual Festival of Emotions, we’ll hear from serious scientists and expert practitioners to see that substance and
applicability.  At Harvard in June, we’ll go even deeper with the NexusEQ Conference: How do we use this incredible science to
spark positive change?  It’s the right time for this work. 
Here’s a start to cut through the FOG:
1. Feelings.  Get real.  Take a breath, give yourself a gift of a six second pause, and listen to yourself.  Slow down the cycle and
acknowledge what is.  Pushing away or covering over feelings doesn’t help; facing reality does.
2. Options.  Recognize the choices you’re making.  There’s a LOT you can’t control, what can you control?  What are three new
alternatives you could try tomorrow?
3. Goals.  Consider a big question: What do you want?  What’s your ideal outcome… for now… for next week… for next year? 
Where do you want to go?
These three steps follow the Six Seconds Model of Emotional Intelligence, a simple way to peer through the FOG (Feelings,
Options, Goals) and take action to move the situation forward.
The bad news is that in times like these, we need a lot of emotional intelligence.  The good news is that in times like these,
more and more people start looking around and saying, “I wish we had more emotional intelligence.”  Awareness is growing. 
Next step: Action.

Negotiating Conflict with Emotional Intelligence

by Joshua Freedman | Jul 20, 2016 | EQ Business, EQ Life | 9 comments

Recent meeting: opposing views led to escalating conflict… EQ train wreck.  As I
watched, I just kept thinking:  
It would be so easy to negotiate this conflict if people used just a scrap of emotional intelligence.
How?  Here are 4 simple steps to resolve conflict and get agreement… get REAL about a solution:
 

1.  Relax.  
When you walk into a meeting “wound up,” people immediately feel that.  Doesn’t matter if you’re coming to attack them, or just
stressed by something completely unrelated… if you walk in tense/rushed/anxious… you create resistance.
Neuroscience: Emotional contagion happens automatically — even the smell of stress triggers it! 

2.  Engage
I’m conflict avoidant. I make all kinds of assumptions that people won’t like me, they’ll attack me, etc. So when I see emotional
complexities, my first reaction is to avoid. This, of course, almost always fails to move the situation toward resolution. The
“secret” is to raise the issue in a neutral, curious way, for example: “It seems like we’re not quite connecting… I’m feeling some
stress, how about you?”
Neuroscience: Simply naming emotions reduces reactivity.  When we identify feelings and label them, we’re connecting the
cognitive brain with the emotional experience — that’s the basis of emotional intelligence.

3. Align.*
When you are in conflict, people usually focus on their differences. Instead, emphasize your common purpose. What are you
BOTH trying to achieve? What is your shared goal or purpose?
Let’s say you are giving feedback about someone’s work, and it’s not great.  You can start by saying, “here are the 22 things
wrong with your crappy work…” or, you can start by saying, “I want to be sure we’re on the same page about the goals.  Here’s
what I think we are trying to accomplish…”
As Daniel Shapiro, the head of Harvard’s International Negotiation Program, says: The secret to handling emotions in conflict is
to move out of an oppositional, me-vs-you stance. More about that below.
Neuroscience: Trust is reciprocal. There’s actually an emotion chemical called oxytocin that’s the basis of trust — and a feeling
of caring. When we’re working toward a shared purpose that we all care about, trust is likely to grow.
To solve conflict, get on the same side of the issue. What is the shared
goal?

4. Listen.
Think of the cliché used car salesman who talks a mile a minute trying to convince you… do the opposite.  The “first rule of
emotional intelligence”: When people feel pushed, they resist.
Don’t push:  Pull.  Offer.  Invite.  Listen.  Make space.  
Neuroscience: There’s fascinating new research on stress showing that, among other pressures, stress gives us a nudge to
connect.  In a challenging situation, stress can push us apart, but if you listen to what’s really happening for the other people, it
can pull you together.
Neuroscience: Stress fuels conflict, but it also pushes people to connect

Still stuck? Go back to step 1… stay REAL ’till you have agreement.

EQ to Negotiate a Conflict

* More about step 2, Align, and the picture.
In step 2, I mentioned the incredible insights from Daniel Shapiro (from Harvard’s International Negotiation Program)?  He
talked about moving out of an OPPOSITIONAL STANCE — and coming to stand on the same side so you & your former
adversary are now standing shoulder-to-shoulder facing a mutual challenge.  It’s not a technical, cognitive skill — it’s an
application of emotional intelligence, and the Six Seconds process for using EQ: 
Know Yourself, tune in.  Notice your own feelings and reactions.
Choose Yourself, deescalate.  Decide to get off of autopilot and engage.
Give Yourself, step together. Use empathy and your purpose to come together.
The picture above is one of the great Aikido masters (bonus points if you can identify the photo, I don’t know).  See how he’s
moved to stand on the SAME side as his “opponent”?  See his open body language?  He’s inviting the young guy to fall down,
and guess what?  The young guy is going to!
When the young guy attacks, instead of a direct power struggle, the Aikido master is doing this amazing step of redirecting. He
moves so he is literally standing next to the attacker. They are now on the same side, facing the same direction.
If you don’t want to get caught up in dissent, move so you’re standing next to the other guy.  One of the power-tools here is
adding just a little empathy. When you bring empathy to the process, you tune in and hear what’s beneath the surface. You
connect. You find that while you disagree, you’re actually in this together.
