About the project:

We believe humans need to be developed holistically – where both the mind and the heart are given equal focus in order to produce a whole person.

Project 12 aims to introduce a groundbreaking educational system that places equal emphasis on nurturing Emotional Intelligence (EQ) alongside intellectual intelligence (IQ) from K-12.   By integrating EQ development throughout the curriculum in both public and private schools in the Philippines, students will cultivate emotional awareness, empathy, and resilience from an early age, while advancing to emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and effective communication as they progress through the grades.

Our mission is to create well-rounded individuals equipped with healthy coping skills needed to navigate through the myriad of human emotions. Our long-term vision is to develop a resilient generation that’s highly empathic, solution-focused, and conscience-driven, empowered to embrace their calling and play a vital role in shaping a brighter world for all.
