Wellbeing, Inclusion and Creativity

Description

Creating an inclusive, safe, and supportive environment is key for any kind of teaching. When students feel at ease, lessons are more fun and rewarding for everyone.

Sometimes, however, it can be hard to create the right atmosphere and fully engage everyone in the classroom, especially with students coming from varied and multifaceted backgrounds, with different needs and learning styles.

That is why, within the framework of the Erasmus+ project LOL, we created this free teacher training course about wellbeing, inclusion, and creativity. It is aimed to enable teachers to create a welcoming atmosphere for all the students, increase their engagement and participation in the classroom, and improve everyone’s well-being through mindfulness and positive education.

The course includes videos, ready-to-use materials, and references for further exploration, to provide educators with the right tools to make their lessons more inclusive, rewarding, and engaging.
