The methodology was qualitative, since participant observation was used as a data collection technique. Results: The proposed activities based on the Happy Classrooms program worked properly and aroused in the students values such as solidarity, respect and cooperation. Conclusion: Educating global and free citizens should be a cross-curricular theme in schools so that students are able to understand the world in which they live and make it a more fair and supportive one.
