WELLBEING IN EDUCATION
Student´s and Educator´s Health
Job Satisfaction and Reduced Burnout
Nurturing and Balanced Environment
Wellbeing in education is a crucial component of a holistic learning environment, emphasizing the mental, emotional, and physical health of students and educators. Prioritizing wellbeing helps create a supportive atmosphere where students feel safe, valued, and motivated to learn. Programs and practices that promote wellbeing include mindfulness activities, mental health education, physical exercise, and social-emotional learning.
By addressing issues such as stress, anxiety, and bullying, schools can prevent negative impacts on academic performance and personal development. Additionally, fostering a culture of wellbeing encourages positive relationships, resilience, and self-awareness among students. For educators, a focus on wellbeing can lead to increased job satisfaction and reduced burnout, ultimately benefiting the entire school community.
Overall, integrating wellbeing into education cultivates a nurturing and balanced environment that supports both academic success and personal growth.
WELLBEING IN EDUCATION COURSES
Conflict management & resolution
Positive and harmonious learning environment
Teachers play a crucial role
Conflict management and resolution in the classroom are vital skills for creating a positive and harmonious learning environment.
Teachers play a crucial role in fostering healthy communication and conflict resolution among students. By implementing strategies such as active listening, teaching empathy, and promoting dialogue, teachers can help students address conflicts constructively.
Teaching conflict resolution skills empowers students to express their feelings and perspectives in a respectful manner while also learning to understand and empathize with others. Additionally, establishing clear expectations for behavior and providing opportunities for collaborative problem-solving can prevent conflicts from escalating.
By proactively addressing conflicts and teaching valuable interpersonal skills, teachers not only create a more peaceful classroom but also equip students with essential life skills that they can apply in various contexts beyond the school environment.
Course description
Those of us who have the privilege of working and sharing space with children must recognise that daily interaction is enriching, and is also a constant back-and-forth of intellect and emotion.
Every exercise of daily socialisation generates affective bonds, but also the latency of conflict.
This course is an opportunity to understand the way in which a child can relate to his or her peers in the school environment, recognising the possible origin of the conflict, in order to look for alternative ways of resolution.
Learning outcomes
Acquire and develop skills for positive conflict management in the classroom.
To learn the basic techniques that, supported by social skills, improve coexistence in the school environment.

Emotional Education
A transformative era in education
E.I. in the Classroom
Every day, education, at its different levels and in its different spheres, confirms the need for emotional education to be established as part of the school curriculum and to contribute its multiple benefits to the training of future generations and of the teachers who accompany them in their training process. We could even point it out as a necessary knowledge to be acquired by families, so that their sons and daughters receive it from birth and throughout their lives.
Of the various definitions, we will stick with that of Bisquerra and Pérez (2012), teachers and researchers at the University of Barcelona:
Emotional education is a continuous and permanent educational process that aims to promote the development of emotional competences as an essential element of human development, with the aim of empowering them for life and increasing personal and social well-being. Emotional competences should be understood as a type of basic life skills, essential for the integral development of the personality.
They are an indispensable complement to the cognitive development on which education has focused throughout the 20th century.
Descriptions
Participants will identify their personal needs, strengths, and goals as teachers, explore their communication and teaching styles and create goals and strategies for change and growth where it is needed.
Through practical and experiential activities, course members will deepen their own selfawareness, empathy, and social skills, which will enrich their own Social and Emotional Intelligence. Concrete tools and strategies for conflict management, stress reduction, and resilience will empower the group to not only do SEL activities but to be an SEL educator.
Each participant will develop their own course of action for promoting SEL in their school, through reflection, experience, sharing, and creating the path that best fits their unique school community, in a highly interactive, engaging learning experience.
Learning outcomes
- Gain greater emotional social literacy
- Experience a Social Emotional Learning enviroment first-hand

Mental Health for Teachers
Supportive and conductive learning environment
Reach Full Potential
Promoting mental health for both teachers and students is essential for creating a supportive and conducive learning environment. For teachers, the demands of the profession can often lead to stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion.
Providing resources such as counseling services, stress management workshops, and opportunities for self-care can help teachers cope with the challenges they face and prevent job dissatisfaction. Additionally, fostering a culture of open communication and support among colleagues can create a sense of community and reduce feelings of isolation. Similarly, students also require attention to their mental well-being to thrive academically and personally.
Schools can implement initiatives like mindfulness exercises, peer support groups, and access to counselors to address students’ emotional needs and provide them with the tools to manage stress and build resilience.
By prioritizing mental health for both teachers and students, schools can cultivate an environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and able to reach their full potential.
Descriptions
The demand for mental health care for children and adolescents has grown considerably after the pandemic and this has made the need to bring mental health training closer to educational centres more visible.
The aim of this course is to provide teachers with knowledge that will help them to better understand what is involved in emotional well-being and mental health in childhood and adolescence.
The aim is to provide teachers with tools both to identify warning signs of mental disorders or indicators of psychological suffering in the school environment, and to facilitate the integration of children and adolescents who already have a psychiatric diagnosis and who are being treated by mental health teams. Each participant will develop their own course of action for promoting SEL in their school, through reflection, experience, sharing, and creating the path that best fits their unique school community, in a highly interactive, engaging learning experience.
Learning outcomes
To provide basic theoretical knowledge on Child and Adolescent Mental Health.
To provide basic skills to identify warning signs of problems or alterations in Child and Adolescent Mental Health.
To promote the integration into the school context of children and adolescents who already have a mental health disorder.
To promote awareness of the problems and alterations in the mental health of children and adolescents.

Evolution in the new era
Integrating mindfulness practices into the daily routines of teachers can offer numerous benefits for their well-being and effectiveness in the classroom. Mindfulness helps teachers cultivate self-awareness, reduce stress, and enhance their ability to manage challenging situations with equanimity and clarity.
By incorporating mindfulness techniques such as mindful breathing, body scans, and mindful movement into their daily routines, teachers can develop greater resilience and emotional regulation, enabling them to respond to students and classroom dynamics with patience and compassion.
Moreover, mindfulness practices can help teachers foster a sense of presence and connection with their students, creating a more supportive and empathetic learning environment.
By prioritizing their own mental and emotional well-being through mindfulness, teachers not only enhance their own quality of life but also serve as positive role models for students, promoting a culture of mindfulness and self-care within the school community.
Course description
