Empower students to grow emotionally-no prep, no stress. Story-led learning made simple for every classroom.

Empower students to grow emotionally-no prep, no stress. Story-led learning made simple for every classroom.

April 2025 | Europe - A new shift is emerging across European classrooms: Schools are no longer treating social-emotional learning (SEL) as a checklist but as an experience. And leading this shift is Heroes Made, the European-born platform built on one simple belief-children don't learn emotions by being told what they are. They learn by living through them.

"We don't teach SEL. We let students live it. That's the core difference schools are starting to recognize." - Maria Lavithi, CEO of Heroes Made, commenting on how immersive learning is reshaping emotional education in European classrooms.

Unlike traditional SEL programs that rely on PowerPoints, worksheets, or rigid frameworks, Heroes Made takes students through personalized, interactive story journeys. Every child creates their avatar, becomes the main character in narrative-based lessons, and makes decisions that shape how their character responds to real-life emotional challenges.

"The science is clear-emotions are not concepts you memorize," says Lavithi. "They are experiences you embody. We built Heroes Made so that SEL wouldn't be another task for teachers, but a natural part of how children grow, connect, and understand themselves."

A Rising Demand from Educators
Interest in SEL has grown rapidly across Europe as schools adapt to shifting priorities in education. With well-being now central to learning environments, educators are seeking effective, inclusive, and easy-to-implement solutions. Heroes Made answers this call with a zero-prep, zero-training, and fully localized platform for K1-6 schools.

Built for Simplicity, Designed for Change
Heroes Made is aligned with CASEL and the EU's Key Competences for Lifelong Learning. The platform includes:

Ready-to-launch SEL journeys that require no class time restructuring
Emotional check-ins and class climate tracking
GDPR-compliant design and military-grade encryption
Seamless integration via GG4L (Global Grid for Learning) for secure onboarding

But at its core, Heroes Made is more than a platform. It's a philosophy: the belief that every child is the hero of their own story, and SEL should be the pen in their hand-not a rulebook in ours.

About Heroes Made

Designed for children ages K1-6, the platform empowers students to build emotional resilience, self-awareness, and social skills through interactive storytelling-where each child becomes the hero of their own learning journey.
