All educators should, at all times, focus on creating and maintaining learning environments for their students that promote a positive sense of wellbeing and healthy connections between peers and other participants. Creating and maintaining a sense of belonging is of paramount importance nowadays. Attention should be paid to promoting and supporting the health and wellbeing of all the actors in a school community.

In 2024, eTwinning explored the theme of wellbeing at school, recognising its role in students' academic success and overall satisfaction. The 2024 eTwinning book aims to inspire teachers across Europe to support wellbeing at school. It showcases projects and activities that address the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of both teachers and pupils. Have a look at it here.

Education has always been crucial to the wellbeing of society; nowadays, student wellbeing is being supported by many initiatives (anti-bullying activities, guaranteeing equality, positive pedagogy, mindfulness and more), which are examples of good practice that all educators should be aware of.

The European Toolkit for inclusion and wellbeing at school promotes inclusive education and tackles early school leaving. Visit the European Toolkit!

Indeed, there is no "one size fits all" approach, yet our eTwinning group, focused on health and wellbeing, on some of the most pressing issues and on the related potential strategies for eTwinning teachers, is firmly set to become a timely and proper stage for meritorious support. Let us work together! Welcome!
