It was great pleasure to go outside to study. I learned many new ways of teaching mindfullnes, self-awerness and how to control own emotions. It was wonderful to learn how to be a good listener and not to react only response. I recommend these type of courses to everyone who is interested in meeting new people and new ways of studying. The teachers were amazing and helpful. Stéphanie Cancel2025-05-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dana Buzatu2025-05-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best Erasmus Organization I have ever had to deal with. Everyone knew what they had to do, they offered a full experience in Split, Croatia. The schedule was good, full of interesting and new activities. Ivana, Dario, Mirjana, Marina and Morana, they all are born to teach and to be close to the people. They also offer a unique Social Programme where you can see a part of Croatian Heritage and make new friends. Thank you all for everything!

We spent 5 wonderful days in Split; every day we did interesting activities in extraordinary and very picturesque spaces. From the first day of the course, Dario gave us an introduction to mindfulness and we worked on some exercises in which we used breathing to calm the mind and detach ourselves from our external experiences and live the present. Nicola's course, by the river, taught us some techniques for relaxing the body in stressful conditions. Last but not least, the beautiful Ivana, who told us in her perfect English that critical thinking helps us to perceive reality much more correctly. It was a course that I will always remember with pleasure and that makes me want new similar experiences.

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.”
