Description

In our busy and demanding school environment it is often difficult to find the time for calmness and reflection. In this course we will explore activities that will give you and your students the opportunity to nurture your mental and physical wellness as a part of your daily routine at school. The sessions are highly practical and you will experience activities first-hand. Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the sessions.

Increasing well-being.
Recognising stress and what triggers it.
Techniques to prevent and relieve stress.
Mindfulness and meditation.
Positive communication.
Encouraging physical activity.
Recognising and building on student and teacher strengths.
All the activities that can be adapted for children, adolescents and adults.
The sessions focus on inclusive teaching and learning practices as well as teacher and students’ health and well-being. They allow teams of teachers to have fun together, try out and develop new ideas. You will also learn to identify strengths in yourself and your colleagues and set goals for improving your practice in the future.
Giving teachers and students time to focus on their own mental health is essential. Mental health conditions are one of the main causes of suffering and disability in Europe and this situation of course has escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic. This course will help you focus on techniques to develop open and supportive well-being cultures in your classroom and beyond. You will see how making small, positive adjustments in your daily practice will bring meaningful change for students, teachers, and schools as a whole.
