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![]()

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
The newly proposed Erasmus+ programme for the 2028–2034 period places a strong strategic focus on democracy and European citizenship, establishing them as key priorities to foster active participation, shared values, and a strengthened sense of European identity across all sectors of education and training. Therefore, we have designed this course to support educators in promoting these essential skills and values through innovative and practical teaching approaches.
Course Description
In today’s interconnected world, democratic citizenship and a shared sense of European identity are essential for building inclusive, resilient, and forward-looking societies. Across Europe, educators and community leaders are increasingly called upon to foster participation, critical thinking, and media literacy, while empowering young people and lifelong learners to actively engage in democratic life.

This Erasmus+ course in Split offers a hands-on, practical approach to embedding citizenship education across different learning environments. Participants will explore strategies to promote youth participation, encourage social and civic engagement, and ensure equal access to resources and opportunities for all. Through workshops, debates, role-play simulations, and collaborative projects, teachers will learn how to inspire active, responsible, and informed participation in democratic life.
We will also address the challenges and opportunities of the digital era—how to strengthen digital skills, media literacy, and fact-checking abilities to combat misinformation, and how to use online tools for democratic engagement. The course integrates real-life European examples, cultural immersion in Croatia, and cross-border cooperation activities to strengthen both local and European identity.

EMPOWER ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP
Erasmus Courses Croatia believes that active citizenship is not simply about voting—it’s about fostering critical thinking, dialogue, and cooperation at all levels of society. This course equips educators with tools to:
- Facilitate inclusive classroom discussions on societal challenges
- Encourage student-led projects
- Connect learning to current events in Europe
- Build confidence in expressing opinions respectfully
By combining experiential learning with a European perspective, participants will be able to guide learners toward becoming thoughtful, engaged citizens.

FOSTER A EUROPEAN IDENTITY
A strong European identity is built on shared values—democracy, human rights, cultural diversity, and solidarity. In this course, participants will explore:
- The role of EU institutions in democratic life
- Strategies to link local issues to European priorities (sustainability, competitiveness, resilience)
- Activities that connect classrooms to Europe-wide debates and initiatives
Through cultural visits, networking, and collaboration with peers from across the EU, teachers will learn to inspire pride in European citizenship while celebrating diversity.

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Integrate democratic citizenship education into their teaching practice.
- Promote active participation and critical thinking in students.
- Design classroom activities that strengthen media literacy and digital skills.
- Encourage youth engagement in democratic processes at local, national, and European levels.
