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
In today’s fast-paced classrooms, both teachers and students face the same challenge — maintaining focus, energy, and motivation in the face of constant stimulation and stress. The Erasmus experience brings new perspectives and teaching methods, but also the risk of burnout and fatigue.
Our Brain Gym and Mindful Wellness Course offers a practical, evidence-based toolkit to help educators restore balance, energy, and enthusiasm — both personally and professionally.
This innovative training combines Brain Gym techniques, Mindfulness practices, and Therapeutic Art into a holistic system for recharging the classroom. Participants will learn simple yet powerful movement-based strategies that activate the brain, improve concentration, and reduce stress — turning every lesson into an active, engaged learning experience.

THE BLUEPRINT FOR ENERGY AND COGNITIVE FLOW
The foundation of this course lies in Super Brain Yoga and Energization Exercises — two dynamic approaches to kinetic learning.
Super Brain Yoga is a scientifically validated exercise that harmonizes the left and right hemispheres of the brain, improving focus, memory, and clarity. Complementing it, short and playful Energization exercises boost oxygen flow to the brain, sharpen attention, and eliminate fatigue — the perfect remedy for the mid-morning slump.
Teachers will experience firsthand how these techniques awaken the mind and body, creating a classroom atmosphere filled with energy and curiosity.

FORTIFYING RESILIENCE THROUGH MINDFULNESS
A motivated classroom begins with a calm, centered educator.
In this module, participants explore Mindfulness and stress regulation strategies designed specifically for busy classrooms. These short, accessible techniques help both teachers and students manage emotions, stay present, and transform stress into self-regulation and focus.
By mastering these practices, teachers will lower their own stress levels while fostering emotional resilience in their students — an invaluable life skill that supports learning far beyond academic success.

THE HOLISTIC CONNECTION: THERAPEUTIC ART
To maintain long-term well-being and engagement, learning must also connect to personal experience.
Our Therapeutic Art module offers creative, hands-on activities that allow emotional expression and reflection through drawing, color, and movement. This process enhances emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and creativity, helping students express feelings that words sometimes struggle to capture.
These methods are particularly effective in inclusive classrooms and cross-cultural settings, fostering empathy and openness among learners from diverse backgrounds.

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Apply Brain Gym movements to enhance focus, memory, and readiness to learn.
- Use Super Brain Yoga and Energization techniques to boost classroom motivation.
- Integrate Mindfulness exercises into daily lessons for calm and concentration.
