New strategies for a positive and happy school

Name: For Teachers: New Strategies For A Positive And Happy School
Price: 400 EUR

Why this is Erasmus+ eligible

Structured, multi-day programme (5 days) with a pre-defined schedule and learning outcomes — not a passive lecture format.

Built around interaction: participants engage directly with the trainer and with peers from other countries throughout the course.

Transnational by design — open to participants travelling from outside the host country, a core requirement of Erasmus+ mobility funding.

Overview

Positive, productive learning environments are key to students’ academic, emotional and social success — but they don’t happen on their own, teachers create them. This course helps you build a classroom where students feel safe, trusted and motivated to learn.

You’ll explore what makes a school genuinely happy — from classroom activities and assessment to physical space and school culture — and leave with concrete, day-by-day strategies you can start using immediately.

Methodology

Concrete Strategies Throughout

The course introduces a series of concrete strategies — games, trust-building activities, the Positive Actions curriculum — that you can apply directly in your classroom.

Practice-Led, Not Lecture-Based

The course is built around hands-on activities and games, not theoretical presentations.

Grounded in the UNESCO Happy Schools Framework

Strategies map to the People, Process and Place domains of student and staff well-being, not just classroom mood.

What you'll take home

Apply time-appropriate strategies to build a positive classroom throughout the school year.

Use games and engaging activities to prevent boredom and increase motivation.

Create a classroom culture of trust between students and teachers.

Design lessons and classroom routines that make the learning process genuinely engaging and enjoyable.

Certificate & assessment

This is a Certificate of Attendance, not an exam-based qualification — recognition comes from completing the structured programme, not from passing a test. The real, lasting value is in the competencies listed above under What you'll take home.

Erasmus Mobility Academy

Certificate of Attendance

For Teachers: New Strategies For A Positive And Happy School · 5 days · 25 hrs

+ Europass Mobility document

Type your name above — clearly marked "SAMPLE" in the PDF, not an official document.

The real certificate is signed by your trainer and EMA's authorised signatory. Your own signature isn't on this document — it's captured separately, on the Europass Mobility document.

Need to verify a real certificate? Check it online using the serial number and participant surname, or contact us directly — [email protected], OID E10304561.

Attendance

Tracked using a sign-in sheet with one signature per participant per day (paper or digital). This record is used to issue your Certificate of Attendance and Europass Mobility document. View sign-in sheet (PDF)

Output

Every participant leaves with a completed Dissemination & School Impact Plan — a step-by-step template for applying the course back at your school (see below).

Feedback

An end-of-course evaluation form is sent to every participant after the course ends — a chance to reflect on what you've learned and how you'll apply it, and it helps us keep improving the course for future participants.

Your paperwork

Keep your travel tickets, boarding passes and (if you used green travel) any related receipts — your school or National Agency may ask for these for their own Erasmus+ reporting.

For your school / proposal

School impact

After completing this Teacher Training & Classroom Management course, the participating staff member can transfer outcomes directly to their school: a short briefing for colleagues sharing the key takeaways, applying relevant tools or strategies from the programme in their own role, and inclusion of the course materials in the school's professional development resources — turning one person's mobility into a wider institutional gain that supports the school's European Development Plan. Use the Dissemination & School Impact Plan below to fill in your own — it saves as you go and can generate a one-page summary for your coordinator too.
