The course was well structured, and the atmosphere that developed was immediately relaxed and enjoyable. Dario is an empathetic teacher, full of tasks and, above all, contagious enthusiasm and inspiration that you can draw from. The activity with Nikola was also enjoyable and interesting. It is worth noting that the course is interdisciplinary and intended for teachers of all school levels. Therefore, the content provided cannot be considered a ready-made library to draw from, but rather a model to personalise and make your own. Choosing to attend the course in August in Split, as I did, also means dealing with the heat and a crowded destination during the hours when there are no course activities. I would recommend attending it outside the peak season, or choosing one of the many other destinations offered by the school. Thank you Dario!Posted on Google![]()

I really enjoyed the Mindfulness and Wellbeing course. It was a very enriching experience that gave me useful tools to manage stress, improve my focus, and become more aware of my thoughts and emotions. Well-being strategies for teachers: practice mindfulness, relieve stress and foster resilience was a well structured course, engaging, and easy to follow. I particularly appreciated outdoor classes, the practical exercises and the opportunity to apply mindfulness techniques to everyday life. Dario created a welcoming and supportive environment, making everyone feel comfortable and involved. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve wellbeing, develop greater self-awareness, and find more balance in daily life. Split is a perfect natural location!!!Posted on Google![]()

The course was a truly positive and enriching experience. It introduced us to meaningful concepts and practical activities related to mindfulness, which I found particularly useful. Our teacher was one of the highlights of the course. He was extremely kind, engaging and cooperative, always bringing a great deal of energy and enthusiasm to the sessions. His genuine personality and gentle manners created a very positive and relaxed atmosphere within the group. I genuinely came to appreciate him thanks to his authenticity and the passion he put into his work. What I particularly appreciated was the attention he gave to every participant. He listened carefully to our questions, requests and comments and was always willing to adapt, clarify and respond to our needs. He made everyone feel heard and involved. Overall, I found the course very inspiring, enjoyable and valuable. I am leaving with new ideas, practical mindfulness activities and a greater awareness of the importance of wellbeing and resilience, both for teachers and for our students.Posted on Google![]()

I had a very mindful week in Split partaking in the course: Building better mental health and wellbeing. The methods we were introduced to will be helpful in managing the everyday stress of teaching. It was great to have a local teacher, who could share info about the Croatian culture as well as the course material. The additional social program was lovely as well and the guides provided us with insights into Croatian history and culture and showed us some truly special places.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
A Tropical Island Perspective
Embarking on a professional development course on a tropical island provides a unique backdrop for cultivating strategic leadership skills among school staff. The serene and inspiring environment encourages introspection, innovation, and collaboration—key elements for effective leadership.
*Visionary Thinking*: The tranquil setting of a tropical island allows school leaders to step away from the usual hustle and bustle, offering the mental space necessary for visionary thinking. This serene ambiance fosters creativity and long-term planning, enabling leaders to envision future educational trends and needs.
*Emotional Intelligence*: Surrounded by nature’s beauty, leaders have the opportunity to enhance their emotional intelligence. The peaceful environment promotes mindfulness and stress reduction, which are crucial for understanding and managing one’s emotions, as well as empathizing with others.
*Collaboration and Team Building*: Course setting naturally encourages group activities and bonding experiences, essential for building strong, cohesive teams. Whether it’s through outdoor team-building exercises or informal beach gatherings, staff members can strengthen their collaborative skills and establish deeper connections.
*Adaptability and Flexibility*: The unpredictable nature of island weather and logistics can be a practical exercise in adaptability. Leaders learn to remain flexible and resourceful, skills that are invaluable when faced with the ever-changing dynamics of educational settings.
*Cultural Competence*: Engaging with the local culture provides leaders with insights into diverse perspectives and practices. This cultural immersion is a powerful tool for developing cultural competence, which is increasingly important in the globalized world of education.
*Well-being and Resilience*: The restorative power of a tropical setting supports the well-being and resilience of school leaders. By experiencing the calming effects of nature, leaders can recharge their mental and physical energy, enhancing their capacity to lead with strength and clarity.
