Course description

Course overview and purpose:
This transformative Erasmus+ teacher training course is designed to support teachers in addressing their own experience of burnout and strengthening their personal well-being. It offers practical tools and strategies to help participants prevent, manage, and recover from burnout in their professional and personal lives.
Through engaging and interactive sessions, participants will explore self-care practices, stress management techniques, and resilience-building approaches tailored to their individual needs. The course focuses on helping teachers restore balance within themselves, improve their emotional well-being, and reconnect with their motivation and sense of purpose.
Participants will be guided in a safe and supportive environment where they can reflect on their roles, behaviours, and personal challenges. The course emphasises recognising early signs of burnout, understanding its root causes, and developing personalised strategies to cope effectively. It also introduces practical communication and boundary-setting techniques that support healthier work-life balance.
By the end of the course, participants will have a clear understanding of burnout and its impact on their own well-being and job satisfaction. They will be equipped with concrete tools to manage stress, enhance resilience, and maintain a sustainable and fulfilling teaching practice.
Join us on this empowering journey to prioritise your well-being, invest in your personal growth, and build the resilience needed to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
