 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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.

Overview

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Strengthen collaboration within your classroom

With the rapid rise of modern technology, many young learners have become more withdrawn and less connected to the people and environment around them. Because of this, we created this Erasmus+ KA1 course for teachers who feel it is time to rebuild those essential connections and increase awareness of student well-being. Teamwork improves learning outcomes, creates meaningful social ties, and helps students understand a variety of viewpoints—clear reasons why group cooperation should be encouraged.
Our experienced Erasmus trainers and psychology professionals will guide you through practical collaborative strategies that can enrich your teaching and help reduce early school leaving.

Encourage positive group dynamics & support well-being

A major focus of this course is well-being in the classroom, which naturally grows when group cohesion is strong. Diversity and inclusion are key pillars of efficient teamwork, so we will show you how to create a classroom where differences are respected, students participate actively, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Humans are social by nature, and for that reason empathy and connection should extend beyond the lesson itself. Such bonds help students feel safe, valued, and more willing to stay engaged in school life.

Increase motivation and build confidence

You will take part in activities designed to create a lively and focused classroom environment where students feel comfortable, motivated, and ready to collaborate. We will explore lesson ideas centred around teamwork, active listening, and cooperative learning. The course also highlights mental health and well-being—helping both teachers and students develop a strong sense of belonging and trust.
Through practical examples, we will introduce healthy competition, conflict prevention and resolution, and ways to strengthen students’ self-confidence.

Our psychologist and Mindfulness trainer, Dario Caljkusic, holds an Honors degree from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, USA. His sessions are known for being engaging, reflective, humorous, and insightful.
