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Collaboration, Teamwork and Teambuilding in Dubrovnik, CroatiaI have to say the course was absolutely brilliant and it superseded my expectations.The course was held in Dubrovnik, which is a jewel on the Croatian Adriatic coast.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

The course has a clear format delving into the structure of a discussion and facillitating thoughtful collaboration in the school system. Our participants will learn the concept of ‘reaction vs response’ and utilize it to discover the present moment. The art of thinking will be considered to enhance compassion and successful collaboration. The concept of listening will be presented and intertwined with the art of having a meaningful conversation. We will create discussions for students, where they can put their knowledge into practice, develop their own views on classroom content, and consolidate what they’ve learned.

Our participants will put on their critical thinking lenses and power through concepts such as problem solving and facts vs opinions. Mindfulness will be presented in the classroom & in the nature to learn to turn on all senses and generate a more positive classroom atmosphere. The present state of mind leads students to consider arguments & counter-arguments, develop a logical outline of their argument, and visualize how their ideas fit together.

An invaluable course for teachers who want to further enhance utilization of soft skills in the classroom and produce a challenging atmosphere where concepts are questioned and issues are raised.
