Split – Teaching with Focus: Brain Gym and Mindful Wellness for Educators
EXCELLENT Based on 647 reviews Posted on Sales Sales2026-04-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Inspiring Leadership and Cultural Exchange in Split From April 11 to 17 I had the opportunity to join the course “Strategic Leadership and Management for Principals, Vice Principals and Other School Policymakers” in Split. That week the training centre "MAKSIMA" (Ul. Nikole Tesle 16A, Split) welcomed 101 participants from 15 countries, creating a truly inspiring international atmosphere. What stood out most to me was how openly we shared challenges and worked together on practical solutions. Stepping into leadership roles during activities made the experience very real, helping me reflect on my own approach to decision-making. The sessions were engaging and varied—even taking place outdoors at times—which kept the energy high. A big takeaway for me was the importance of soft skills in leadership—not just understanding them, but thinking about how to develop them within our own school communities. Beyond the learning, experiencing Dalmatian culture and meeting such passionate educators at the training centre "MAKSIMA" made the week especially memorable. I left Split feeling motivated, more confident in my leadership perspective and grateful for the connections I made. Jelena M. Riga Secondary School No.95 LatviaPosted on Ulrika Stoltz2026-04-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The course in Split is unforgettable. It was wonderful to meet so many people from different countries who are working for the same cause but in different ways. I highly recommend going on a course at the beginning of accreditation because it gives you lots of contacts to make use of. The course itself "Collaboration; Teamwork and Teambuilding" was superbly led by Dario who carried out many exercises with us and stories that gave us the opportunity to think about what is important in our work with teaching and daily life. Experiencing the Croatian culture gives an additional positive framework to the course.Posted on Teresa Olofsson2026-04-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

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.
