Our Story
Soul Strategist – Science made soulful.
Soul Strategist is an educational platform dedicated to children, parents, and educators who want to explore resilience, connection, and inner strength through transdisciplinary tools and resources. Our work is grounded in a simple belief: science should not remain abstract and distant – it can be translated into everyday life, made creative, playful, and soulful.
Through digital guides, lesson plans, and activities, Soul Strategist turns complex ideas – such as ecosystems, emotions, and interdependence – into warm and engaging learning experiences. We create a bridge between research and life, between knowledge and practice.
Mission
Our mission is to plant the seeds of emotional intelligence, ecological awareness, and self-leadership in children and young people. We believe education is not just about transmitting knowledge but about shaping inner capacities – courage, curiosity, and resilience – that help children thrive in a changing world.
Vision
We envision Soul Strategist as a global platform where families, educators, and children learn together about how everything is interconnected. Our vision is a future in which education is not built on rote memorization, but on systemic understanding, creativity, and self-leadership.
We draw inspiration from cutting-edge scientific perspectives on resilience, ecology, and human development, but translate them into a language that is accessible, warm, and practical. In this way, we create a space where nature meets neuroscience and storytelling – and where children grow empowered, not overwhelmed, by the world around them.
About the Founder
Djurdjina Ciric, MA pedagogue, researcher, and author, founded Soul Strategist inspired by both her personal journey and academic background. With years of experience working with children, parents, and schools, as well as academic research in resilience and education, she shaped a brand that combines scientific depth with the warmth of lived experience.
Djurdjina believes that leadership begins within – in the moment when a child (or an adult) learns to recognize emotions, connect with the world around them, and build an inner compass. This vision lies at the heart of Soul Strategist: an education that nurtures both knowledge and the soul.
