Methodology & assessment

The Mindfulness id education course is structured around a foundational theoretical aspect and, more importantly, a practical component designed to implement and delve deeper into the concepts discussed. Throughout the week, the course will concentrate on three primary areas of focus: self-awareness and emotional management, fostering empathy and values within school relationships, and motivating achievement. Additionally, the course emphasizes preventing contemporary school issues such as violence, bullying, a dearth of values, motivation, assertiveness, goal-setting challenges, frustration, and emotional distress, all of which impact mood, social conduct, and learning. Given the fundamental importance of positive coexistence in schools, each day of the course will emphasize meditation and emotional education.

Our seasoned trainer will facilitate and encourage networking and collaboration among participants. We arrange networking sessions and cultural activities to provide attendees with the chance to share best practices, forge professional collaborations, and establish connections. These activities involve not only course participants but also individuals from other company-affiliated courses. The training program has been meticulously crafted to enable participants to transfer knowledge and cultivate essential skills required to conceive and manage a successful proposal.
