Once again, ELIS Murcia proudly joined Cognita’s global family of schools in celebrating the 2024 edition of Global Be Well Day, a day dedicated to promoting wellbeing across more than 100 schools worldwide. This year’s theme, Giving, inspired students, staff and families alike to focus on the importance of generosity, connection and empathy.

The day began with an uplifting dance performance, where all students came together, embodying the joy and unity that Global Be Well Day represents. This was followed by a host of engaging, creative activities across the school, each designed to foster a sense of community and appreciation.

Students participated in thoughtful projects such as creating decorative aprons for kitchen staff or personalized cards for their families, showcasing their gratitude. Through these gestures, they learned the value of giving back to those who support them every day. Activities such as sensory exploration stations and friendship bracelet making further encouraged students to connect with their peers and express kindness in meaningful ways.

In ELIS Murcia, we firmly believe that students must feel well to learn well. This principle underpins our entire educational approach and Global Be Well Day serves as a powerful reminder of how essential wellbeing is to our students’ personal and academic growth. Through holistic, high-quality experiences, we continue to nurture not only their intellectual capabilities but also their emotional and social development.

In addition to fostering wellbeing, we aim to shape our students into exceptional examples of global citizenship. Last Friday’s activities helped reinforce the importance of kindness, care and respect — key values we believe every student should embody in an increasingly interconnected world.

The day culminated in a special assembly, where students reflected on the importance of Giving and shared their experiences. Global Be Well Day is not just a one-day event; it is part of our year-round commitment to enriching the lives of our students through meaningful, quality experiences that build resilience, compassion and a deep sense of community.

In ELIS Murcia, we are dedicated to ensuring that our students thrive in every aspect of their lives, helping them become thoughtful, kind, and empowered individuals in a rapidly evolving world.
