Overview of our activities
Optimism can be cultivated
Part of our optimism is innate and depends 50% on the length of our 5HTT gene. The good news is that it also depends 40% on the way we look at the events we are going through. And only 10% depends on the nature of these events…
It’s up to us to choose optimism!

Our road to optimism
Step by step, day by day, we can build our path to optimism. Our aim at l’Ecole de l’Optimisme is to accompany children and adults on this journey, where everyone can enjoy discovering all or part of the workshops on self-relationship, relationships with others and relationships with the world.
