It was during that period that she realized that we sometimes have to look into the past in order to find inspiration for the future. The challenges and crisis of our era undermine people’s need for happiness. The ancient Greek society was a pioneering one in the sense that it placed the human being and one’s happiness in its core center. From this perspective, children’s and young people’s education was of utmost importance. Children in Athens were prompted to come into contact with the ideas of philosophers, playwrights and other prominent personalities who stressed the importance of virtuous behavior. This model of education which cultivated ethos based on virtue and justice, had a positive effect on their well-being but also on the well-being of their fellow citizens and their city.This realization opened up a new horizon and scope of life for Aimilia Emmanouil. Thus, she wrote her fist children’s story entitled Unhappyland against Happyland.In 2016 she was awarded by the Women’s Literary Team for the theatre play “the king of flowers”.
