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!Posted on 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.

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.Posted on 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.

Course Description
Early childhood is the foundation of lifelong learning — a time when curiosity, exploration, and imagination shape how children understand the world. In preschool settings, Project-Based Learning (PBL) offers a powerful framework to nurture these natural drives, helping children learn by doing, questioning, and creating.
This Erasmus+ course introduces preschool teachers to developmentally appropriate Project-Based Learning, where play and inquiry become vehicles for meaningful learning experiences. Through hands-on workshops, real examples, digital tools and creative group work, participants will learn how to design, guide, and assess projects that connect with children’s interests while supporting social, emotional, and cognitive growth.
By the end of the course, you will have a ready-to-use toolkit to implement PBL in your preschool — making learning joyful, collaborative, and deeply engaging.

LEARNING THROUGH PLAYFUL PROJECTS
Project-Based Learning in preschool is rooted in children’s natural curiosity. Teachers will learn how to turn everyday questions into long-term projects that integrate language, science, art, and social skills.
Participants will explore strategies for guiding curiosity while maintaining flexibility — letting children take the lead, encouraging exploration, and helping them make sense of their discoveries through storytelling, drawing, and play.
Teachers will experience firsthand how these techniques awaken the mind and body, creating a classroom atmosphere filled with energy and curiosity.

THE TEACHER AS A FACILITATOR AND CO-LEARNER
In this course, educators rediscover their role as facilitators, observers, and co-learners. Rather than providing answers, teachers learn how to guide children’s thinking through open-ended questions, reflective dialogue, and active listening.
Participants will also learn documentation techniques inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach — using photos, journals, and displays to make children’s learning visible and to communicate progress with parents and colleagues.

COLLABORATION, CREATIVITY, AND COMMUNITY
Preschool projects thrive when learning extends beyond the classroom. This course explores how to connect PBL to the local community and environment, encouraging outdoor learning, visits, and guest interactions that enrich children’s experiences.
Educators will design project ideas that foster teamwork, empathy, and problem-solving — helping even the youngest learners develop the foundations of global citizenship, sustainability, and care for others.

Learning Outcomes:

- Understand the principles and benefits of Project-Based Learning in early childhood education.
