RIEEB - Red Internacional de Educación Emocional y Bienestar

What RIEEB - Red Internacional de Educación Emocional y Bienestar does

RIEEB (Red Internacional de Educación Emocional y Bienestar) is a non-profit association founded in 2018 and headquartered at the Palau de Marianao in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Barcelona. The organization operates as an international network promoting science-based emotional education, defined through a structured Emotional Competency Framework spanning awareness, regulation, autonomy, social competence, and life skills, and endorsed through a UNESCO-aligned guide. It serves four primary segments: public administration (municipal emotional well-being policy via the EmoCities network), the education sector (curriculum integration, teacher training, and congress co-organization with universities in Mexico and Colombia), sports organizations (clubs and federations), and companies and organizations seeking ACEMOS accreditation.

The core product surface consists of biennial International Congresses (Barcelona 2021, Mexico 2023, Colombia 2025, Barcelona 2027 planned), the EmoCiutats/EmoCities municipal conference series co-organized with the Diputació de Barcelona, the RIEEB Scientific Journal co-published with Universidad Iberoamericana, an International Master in Emotional Education and Well-being, and the ACEMOS organizational certification launched in alliance with EFR and Fundación Másfamilia. Supporting assets include the EMOShare member platform, a resource blog, a YouTube channel, and the Programa En sus Zapatos socio-emotional learning curriculum.

Revenue is generated through tiered annual memberships (€30–€1,000 across individual, premium, corporate, and commitment tiers), paid training programs (Masters, Mindfulness, Sports and Emotions, corporate training), congress and EmoCities conference registration fees, and the new ACEMOS certification stream. Go-to-market combines a community-led membership model with event-driven demand generation and direct institutional sales to public administrations, schools, sports clubs, and corporations across Spain, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil.
