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 an age where students are constantly online, the classroom faces a new challenge — how to sustain focus, motivation, and authentic social interaction in a world of constant digital connection. Teachers witness students who are always connected yet increasingly disengaged, distracted, and emotionally distant.
Our course Reclaiming Connection: Motivation and Social Intelligence for the Digital Generation helps educators navigate this digital paradox by transforming technology from a source of distraction into a bridge for meaningful learning. Through a balanced blend of digital engagement strategies, motivation techniques, and social-emotional learning, teachers will discover how to bring attention, empathy, and collaboration back into the heart of the classroom.
Participants will explore practical ways to use technology creatively — to boost participation, enhance focus, and promote interaction — while also learning how to rebuild real human connection through mindful communication, group activities, and critical thinking exercises.

FROM DIGITAL DISTRACTION TO MEANINGFUL CONNECTION
Modern students live in a world of instant feedback and constant stimulation. This module focuses on understanding how digital environments affect attention, motivation, and learning behavior. Participants will learn practical strategies and tools to re-engage distracted learners, build curiosity, and transform passive scrolling into active participation.
You will explore digital platforms, apps, and collaborative tools that make learning interactive — while setting healthy boundaries that protect focus and mental well-being. The goal is not to remove technology, but to redefine its purpose in the classroom.

BUILDING MOTIVATION AND SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE
Motivation today requires more than just innovative tools — it requires connection. In this module, educators will learn how to use emotional intelligence and social learning techniques to strengthen relationships and trust in the classroom.
Through hands-on exercises and discussions, participants will discover how empathy, perspective-taking, and authentic communication can boost engagement and help students reconnect — with each other, with their teachers, and with learning itself.

MINDFUL TECHNOLOGY AND FOCUS STRATEGIES
The ability to focus is one of the most critical skills in the 21st-century classroom. This section introduces evidence-based practices to strengthen concentration, reduce stress, and build mindful awareness — both for teachers and students.
Participants will practice short focus exercises, breathing techniques, and mindful pauses that can be integrated into lessons to restore attention and calm after periods of high stimulation. By balancing digital activity with mindful presence, teachers can create classrooms that are both dynamic and centered.

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the effects of digital overload on attention, motivation, and social behavior.
- Apply practical strategies to increase focus and engagement in digital-age classrooms.
- Use interactive tools to promote collaboration, creativity, and meaningful participation.
- Integrate social-emotional learning techniques to strengthen classroom relationships.
- Balance digital innovation with mindfulness and emotional well-being.
