Why is Kidz Academy in schools?

Together with students, teachers, school principals and parents we are building a strong, healthy, and long-lasting culture of well-being.

Well-being is the foundation of learning, and creating balance across physical, social, emotional, and academic dimensions is

essential to foster growth, learning, and resilience for life’s challenges.

Strong and healthy well-being, is the foundation for great performance.

To build a strong and healthy culture of well-being you must focus on and strengthen these 3 areas, in the following order:

We are all performers, but to be great performers, we need to feel safe and secure in order to learn and develop from our mistakes – and feel that we have something valuable and important to contribute to the community.

Research

The research behind strong and healthy well-being, and its foundation for great performance, is heavy and well-documented.

Therefore, it is Kidz Academy’s mission to put well-being on the school schedule nationally and internationally – and we are well on our way in cooperation with visionary schools in Denmark and across Europe.

Our Well-Being Ambassador Program empowers older students to become mentors for younger peers, creating a supportive network within the school community. These young mentors share advice, exercises, and personal experiences, offering younger students role models they can relate to and look up to.

This peer-to-peer approach fosters a unique connection that adults simply can’t replicate in the same way. Both mentors and mentees benefit deeply from the program, as mentors build leadership skills and empathy, while mentees gain a stronger sense of belonging and confidence. This reciprocal relationship helps everyone involved to grow and thrive.

In Copenhagen, 17-year-old Viktoria Junker serves as a mentor for younger teens and children who need support in building their inner strength. Viktoria’s role is to guide and inspire these children, helping them grow emotionally and socially by sharing her own insights and experiences. Her presence as a peer mentor provides the children with someone relatable and encouraging, helping them feel stronger and more confident in themselves.

Summer Camp 2025

All children and young people are important and have something special to contribute – and it is our mission and goal that every participant in our camps leaves with a sense of belonging and self-worth.

SummerCamp 2025

We provide children and young people with a strong foundation, helping them believe in themselves and discover what makes them unique.

The program at our camps is carefully designed, striking a fine balance between activities, exercises, creativity, presence, campfire gatherings, reflection, play, movement, laughter, and plenty of joy.

SummerCamp 2025 will be held at Livsstilsefterskolen Hjarnø in collaboration with BGI Akademiet – in a safe, inclusive, and heartfelt environment, surrounded by nature, the beach, and the sea.

Kidz Academys 5 strategies.

Kidz Academy works with five strategies that build and lay the foundation for strong and lasting well-being, enhance self-esteem, and create strong and nurturing learning communities:

A Positive Culture
We teach children and young people to understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. By consciously working with our inner world, we create an outer world and culture characterized by respect, joy, and inclusivity.
Recognition and Self-Esteem
We strengthen belief in one’s own abilities through specific exercises, activities, and mirroring. A strong sense of self-esteem is the foundation for standing firmly in oneself while contributing positively and meaningfully to a community.
Spotting Strengths – Positive Psychology in Practice
When children and young people feel seen, heard, and valued, they grow. We focus on identifying and developing individual character strengths – and using them actively and constructively in daily life.
Stillness, Breathing, and Inner Balance
Through simple breathing exercises and meditation, we help children and young people find calm and connect with themselves, enhancing mindfulness, self-regulation, and resilience.
Play, Joy, and Community
We use play, movement, and team-building activities to strengthen relationships and create safe communities. When we laugh, move, and play together, genuine connections emerge – along with the feeling of belonging and inclusion.

This was exactly the recharge our family batteries needed. Thank you for that. You feel embraced and enlightened when you leave the Family Camp, and perhaps most importantly, well-equipped to continue working with all the great tools. You truly have a special gift. THANK YOU.

We would highly recommend the Family Camp to other families. There are many fun and unique tools that have brought our family closer together. We laugh more together, joke around, and love having a picture with positive words about all of us.

A camp every family would benefit from and should be entitled to experience. Seeing our 8-year-old daughter gain greater self-confidence in just two days, thanks to the tools introduced by the amazing team, was incredibly moving. The team’s dedication, openness, and infectious joy made the camp a huge experience. This weekend will undoubtedly make a big difference in our lives as a family and in how we handle life’s various challenges. Thank you so much!

Mother of Alexander (11 years old) First, a huge thank you for everything you do to help others thrive and find themselves. IT WORKS, and you make a HUGE difference. Alexander recently participated in the national championships, and he did really well. He has truly rediscovered his joy for hockey, and it shows both on and off the ice, where he’s thriving. But the best part is that he’s also a fantastic teammate and so much himself. Before every game, he finds inner calm without feeling left out, as he says, “I’m just the way I’m supposed to be.” We can see him grow and discover himself more and more. He no longer tries to follow the alpha boys but stays true to himself, and the others accept and respect that. He no longer comes home sad from school, and his confidence grows every day. He’s started raising his hand in class again and has found a love for school. It’s amazing to see him shine both at school and in his hobbies. It’s hard to believe it’s almost a year since we came to you with a very unhappy child who felt lonely and sad. Now we have a child who shines both in school and hockey. He no longer feels lonely and has many playdates. You have played a massive role in this, and we just wanted to send you this little update so you know what a huge difference you’re making, helping others thrive and find themselves. A big hug from all of us.

Father of Conrad (10 years old) and Sander (8 years old) I can wholeheartedly recommend Kidz Academy. There is no better place to send your children because they are truly seen, heard, and understood, no matter who they are or how they are. Both my boys attended, and the program equipped them with a wide range of skills, such as teamwork exercises and tools to handle different challenging situations. I got two children back with stronger inner confidence and a renewed belief in themselves.
