Spain

In recent years, Spain has faced multiple crises—economic, health-related, and climatic—that have significantly impacted the mental health of the population, particularly children and adolescents. At Fundación Gomaespuma, we respond to this reality by promoting projects that prioritize emotional well-being as both an educational and social imperative.

A key initiative is Think Equal, a pioneering global socio-emotional education program, for which we are strategic partners in Spain, Portugal, and Senegal. The program is implemented in schools with the aim of equipping students with tools to manage their emotions, foster empathy, and prevent violence from an early age.

In response to the severe flooding (DANA) that affected the Valencian Community, we launched “Gomaespuma con Valencia”, an emergency initiative providing social and cultural support through parades, radio, and family activities. Our work continues alongside local organizations with actions we call “No olvidar la DANA”, focused on rebuilding, raising awareness, and creating safe and dignified spaces for affected children.

We remain committed to making emotional care a reality at all educational stages, with special attention to the most vulnerable contexts.
