Teacher training course Collaboration, Teamwork and Teambuilding in Dubrovnik, CroatiaI have to say the course was absolutely brilliant and it superseded my expectations.The course was held in Dubrovnik, which is a jewel on the Croatian Adriatic coast. Dubrovnik itself is a must-visit/see/experience – everyone will be charmed by this lovely city, its beautiful clear sea, clean and warm air, small museums and the music of the night buskers.Our course lasted 5 days, it was well-organised and inspiring. Dario’s classes were like going on an adventure, where he would guide us and open new possibilities for seeing things from a fresh point of view, by opening new doors which we either couldn’t see before or didn’t know existed. Dario is very competent and experienced; he taught at a steady pace and he never rushed. He was our teacher, guide and motivator; there was no time to ever feel tired or bored. He gave us a lot of useful and constructive information, many invaluable examples and tips, which, I am sure, every one of the participants of the course will carry forward into our classrooms, enriching our teaching practice and the learning experiences of our students.The course was also a great success because all the participants collaborated very well in building teamwork and surely our work achieved a synergy effect.I believe that the Erasmus+ programme has been a great opportunity to learn, cooperate and exchange teaching/learning experiences and I am already looking at the next course to enrol on.

Interesting courses, an attractive teacher, a fabulous place to hang out and gain knowledge.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Teachers feel they have to live up to many expectations in the 21st century.
They are expected to successfully guide students through many difficult learning stages and ensure good grades and students’ satisfaction & well being. They are expected to motivate and understand students, give good feedback and remain positive throughout the academic process. Furthermore, they often juggle between students’ feelings, parents’ expectations and societal pressures. Their job is often viewed as minimally demanding yet safe, with ‘too many’ vacation days yet too few contact hours. This often leads to job dissatisfaction and possibly burnout.

This course emphasizes a positive approach to working in the school system. We will learn how to make stress our friend, focus on positive affirmations, learn how to let go of the negative self-talk. Gratitude will be practiced, humor will be used, self-motivating methods will be implemented. We will explore strategies such as emotional management, self-control, building empathy and compassion to rediscover resilience and render life more manageable and pleasant.

The ultimate goal is to flourish in a state of well-being whilst recognizing our own strengths and setting our auto-pilot to positive. We will achieve this through teambuilding exercises that foster a sense of belonging which can, in turn, be projected onto our students. By identifying and analyzing the strengths necessary for achieving well-being and behaving resiliently, we will collaborate to find ways of navigating emotional highs and lows in ways that promote mental, emotional, and physical health.

Our resident psychologist and Mindfulness instructor, Dario Caljkusic, holds an Honors degree from Lewis & Clark College, in Portland, Ore, USA. His course is both engaging and thought-provoking, entertaining yet introspective. As our former course participants Jane, Mette, Ditte & Lise-Lotte from Denmark wrote about Dario: “Thank you so much for the most exciting course. You have been fantastic, motivating teacher.”
