We are thrilled to announce that Lina Edu has successfully completed another Erasmus+ teacher training course in Split, Croatia – Zen-sational Teaching: Mindfulness for Teachers’ Wellbeing.
Led by our experienced educator Mirjana, this 6-day course combined theory, practice, and creativity to help teachers strengthen their professional and personal wellbeing through mindfulness-based techniques.
A Week of Learning, Reflection, and Growth
Despite the summer heat in Split – where even the crickets seemed louder than usual – our sessions were smooth, active, and highly motivating thanks to the excellent venue at the Center of Excellence of Split-Dalmatia County (Centar izvrsnosti Splitsko-dalmatinske županije).
Every day, participants spent five highly focused hours exploring mindfulness practices, reflecting on their experience, and learning how to apply these methods in their classrooms and daily lives.
Activities Included:
-
Core body strengthening and posture correction
-
Stress and back pain release exercises
-
Techniques for boosting energy and focus
-
Practical mindfulness boosters
-
Creative writing and painting sessions
From writing haiku poems to watercolor painting, the mix of physical and creative activities encouraged participants to step out of their comfort zones while staying mindful, engaged, and inspired.
Highlights of the Training
Field Class: When Senses Make a Sense
One of the most memorable sessions was our field class, where participants applied their newly acquired knowledge in real-life settings. Using a scaffolding method, they worked individually and in pairs, guided just enough by our educator to foster independence and problem-solving.
Cross-Curricular Scavenger Hunt: Discovering Split
Educator Ivana introduced participants to a creative field game merging subjects like History, Geography, English, Latin, and Religious Education. Designed as a scavenger hunt through Split, this activity improved:
-
Media and information literacy
-
Reading comprehension
-
Collaboration and team bonding
Participants described it as fun, motivating, and curiosity-driven learning at its best.
Final Reflections
On the last day, teachers reflected on their learning journey and key outcomes. They reported improvements in mindfulness, creativity, posture, balance, energy, and overall wellbeing.
The course concluded with certificates of achievement, celebrating the participants’ dedication and positive results.
