Course Description
This course has been created for teachers who want to foster a more dynamic, creative environment in the classroom to encourage and stimulate students' interest in learning.
Teachers will have the opportunity to learn 'by doing' through a range of activities and experiences aimed toward promoting higher student self-esteem, greater cohesion and involvement among teachers, students and their families, providing strategies in discouraging early school-leaving and favoring a more meaningful school experience.
Participants will explore and experiment with cooperative learning, team building, mentoring and alternative forms of expression which can be adapted to their classroom to keep their students interested, engaged and motivated. Teachers will also learn how to recognize and intervene in early signs of teacher burn-out and seek increased job satisfaction.
By the end of the course, teachers will have acquired greater knowledge about how creativity, improved communication and enhanced relational skills can be effective allies in discouraging school-leaving and dissatisfaction with the scholastic experience.

Der Beginn des Kurses stand im Zeichen von Präsentationen der Schulen und AShcultyüen der einzelnen Teilnehmer, wodurch man einen ersten Überblick über unterschiedliche und doch gleiche Probleme des Schulalltag gewinnen konnte. Der weitere Verlauf des Kurses bot allerlei motivationssteigernde Impulse, angefangen von bodypercussion, ice breakers, einfachen Atem- und Yogaübungen in Zusammenhang mit Achtsamkeitsübungen und leichten Meditationen, die zum Teil auch im Unterricht angewendet werdeb können, in jedem Fall aber den Lehrenden Entstressung bringen. Praktische Aktivitäten und Teambildungs-strategien rundeten das Programm ab. Wertvoll war auch, dass alle Aktivitäten in einen thematischen Kontext gestellt wurden und die Theorie dazu in sehr anschaulichen Folien dargeboten wurde. Die Lehrenden waren außerordentlich kompetent und erfahren und vor allem Marta Mandolini hat es mit ihrem Esprit geschafft, die bunt zusammengewürfelten Teilnehmer aus verschiedenen europäischen Ländern zu einer Gruppe werden zu lassen, wodurch ein interessanter Erfahrungsaustausch ermöglicht wurde. Auch die Damen in der Rezeption waren sehr kpooperativ und hilfsbereit . Lediglich der Veranstaltungsort war insofern nicht immer geeignet, als im Nebenraum ebenfalls ein Seminar stattgefunden hat und die Geräuschkulisse aus dem Nebenraum vor allem bei manchen Achtsamkeitsübungen störend waren. Insgesamt war es eine toille Erfahrung und ich nehme viele Anregungen für meinen eigenen UInterricht mit nach Hause.

Der Kurs wurde seinem Titel 'A Satisfying School Experience' absolut gerecht. Neben den theoretischen Inputs gab es immer wieder praktische Übungen und Teamwork-Aufgaben. Der Kursleitung gelang es hervorragend einen guten Teamspirit unter den Teilnehmern aus verschiedensten Schultypen unterschiedlicher europäischer Länder herzustellen und somit war ehrliche und offene Kommunikation über Stressbelastungen möglich und es konnten gemeinschaftlich Lösungsansätze formuliert werden. Der gute Teamgeist führte auch dazu, dass Kontaktdaten ausgetauscht wurden und weitere Kontakte möglich sein werden. Alle Bausteine des zuvor erhaltenen Stundenplans wurden umgesetzt - in sehr professioneller und motivierender Art und Weise. Marta Mandolini und Maria del Monte haben tolle Arbeit geleistet!
