 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended the Erasmus+ course "Well-Being & Mental Health" from October 24th to 29th. I would like to express a huge thank you (Milan) for handling all the course documentation beforehand. The communication was professional, very kind, and timely. We had the most wonderful, responsive, and inspiring instructor—Dario! On the very first day, we headed to the seaside, where our first session took place. Every day was full of inspiration, and time flew by because it was all so engaging! Dario’s use of language—his pace, tone, and gestures—made it easy to follow along, even if your English isn't perfect. Dario has a unique ability to create an atmosphere where stress and anxiety simply melt away. This course is both inspiring and deeply calming! A wonderful 5 days in Split! Thank you so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved everything about this Erasmus experience in Split, Croatia! And honestly, my positive impression started even before I arrived. Communication was quick, clear and efficient from the very beginning, whether via email or WhatsApp, which made everything so easy and stress-free.

Once I got there, things turned out to be even better than I had expected. I loved the flexibility of the training sessions, the knowledge and practical ideas we were introduced to, the way the trainers communicated with us, and how thoughtfully the entire programme was organised. Everything felt natural, welcoming and well put together.

It was truly a special experience, one that definitely wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card, but I couldn’t be happier that it happened! I came home with new perspectives, fresh ideas and plenty of things to reflect on. I know that many of the things I learned will gradually find their way into both my professional practice and my everyday life.

What made this experience even more special was the people behind it. You can genuinely feel their passion, dedication and love for what they do. They are wonderful people and committed educators who make you feel welcome, valued and encouraged to learn.

I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone considering an Erasmus course in Split. Don’t hesitate, just go!

I would absolutely love to come back in the future, either for another training course or for a possible collaboration. Some experiences stay with you long after they are over, and this is definitely one of them.

Thank you for everything! ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From 12–16 October I attended an Erasmus+ teacher training course in Split. It was my first Erasmus + experience, and it exceeded all my expectations.
A huge thank you to our trainer Dario Čaljkušić. His sessions were warm, lively and truly meaningful. Dario created a calm and safe atmosphere where I felt welcome from the very first day. From him I learned the most important lesson: everything should be done lightly, step by step, without rush or stress. During this week I found peace, and I have brought it back to my work with children.
This course also gave me new friends. Meeting colleagues from different countries, our conversations and sharing experiences were incredibly valuable.
I warmly recommend this course to every educator, especially those who feel tired. Thank you, Dario, and the whole Erasmus + Courses Croatia team!

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.
Apply rapid stress relief methods to create emotionally balanced classrooms.
