Soft Skills for Strong Teachers and Positive Schools

This course is an eligible training activity under Erasmus+ Key Action 1 (School Education Mobility) — the course fee, travel and subsistence fall within the eligible cost categories. Whether it is covered depends on your own project's approved grant agreement and your National Agency's rules; we provide all the invoices, attendance records and certificates your National Agency requires for reporting.

B1 is enough — you do not need to be fluent. Trainers speak slowly and plainly, every session is built around doing something rather than sitting and listening, and groups are mixed by nationality so people help each other out. A rough test: if you could follow a staff meeting held in English and ask a question in it, you will be fine here.

Absolutely — group bookings of 3+ from one school or organisation receive priority placement, and we can schedule a dedicated session for groups of 12 or more.

Our courses run on request at our centres in Antalya, İstanbul, İzmir, Mersin, Budapest, Bremen and Rome. Tell us your preferred city and dates and we will arrange a session.

Tuition, all course materials, your Certificate of Attendance, and the co-signed Europass Mobility document. Flights, accommodation and travel insurance are booked separately — we send a vetted hotel list.

You can move to any later session free of charge. Cancellations made 30+ days before the start date receive a full refund; a reduced refund applies closer to the date — see our full Cancellation & Refund Policy for the exact schedule.

This mobility supports the Key Action 1 school education objective of “supporting professional development of teachers, school leaders and other school staff” (Erasmus+ Programme Guide 2026, Key Action 1 – Mobility for pupils and staff in school education, Objectives of the action, p. 103). The Guide's school education priority "Supporting teachers, school leaders and other teaching professions", set out for cooperation partnerships (KA2) and a useful reference for the aim, covers teachers' “continuous professional development” and “making teaching careers more attractive and diverse, including via support to their wellbeing” (Partnerships for Cooperation – sector-specific priorities in the field of school education, p. 230). The week addresses both at the level of the individual teacher: communication, feedback, motivation and de-escalation skills practised in role-play, organised around Martin Seligman's PERMA model of wellbeing, so that each skill is looked at for what it does for the teacher as well as for students. Participants leave with a personal plan of one small action for each of the five PERMA components and a rehearsed way to handle a hard classroom moment. Frame it in your own project's terms — your National Agency's current call will confirm exactly how it applies.

This course is about the individual teacher's communication, leadership and hard moments, organised with the PERMA lens. Personal stress-reduction practices are the work of Empowering Educators through Mindfulness and Well-Being, and school-level approaches to a positive climate are the work of For Teachers: New Strategies for a Positive and Happy School.

No. The role-plays use scenarios prepared by the trainer from common classroom situations, and every exercise is optional.
