Course Aims

By attending this Mindfulness and Wellbeing in Education course you will:

 

  •  Gain understanding of the principles and practices of mindfulness and emotional intelligence, and their benefits for personal and professional growth

  • Learn mindfulness techniques to manage personal energy & stress levels, promote enhanced wellbeing, and enhance self-awareness and emotional control.

  • Develop skills to create and facilitate mindfulness practices and integrate mindfulness into lesson plans and teaching strategies.

  • Learn how to support students to understand, manage and express their emotions effectively.

  • Develop your own English language skills.

  • Gain awareness of Irish culture and society through topical, interactive lessons.

  • Establish contacts between teachers from a variety of education systems and facilitate future networking.

Methodology

This is a practical course which uses real teaching and learning examples. Participants completing the course will return home with immediate, practical ideas to implement in their own professional practice and also with their learners.

Participants are expected to actively participate in the workshops, reflecting on their own beliefs and practice, and sharing thoughts, ideas and expertise in pair work, small groups and with the class as a whole. Participants are also expected to keep a journal throughout the course and engage in critical thinking and active peer and self-evaluation throughout.

During the course participants will also take part in a range of afternoon activities where they will be encouraged to develop their language skills in a more informal environment outside the classroom and further enhance their knowledge of contemporary Ireland.

Course Programme

The Digital Transitions course has three main components:

  • Mindfulness in Life and Education

  • Emotional Intelligence in Education

  • Irish Life and Culture (including focus on language development)

For group bookings, to ensure your course meets your development objectives, the schedule of sessions on every course is drawn up and agreed with each group of participants and Erasmus Plus coordinators on the basis of pre-course training needs analysis questionnaires.
