This seminar demonstrates how positive relationships and the conscious promotion of well-being, for both teachers and learners, have a lasting impact on educational success. Together, we will reflect on how a supportive and appreciative learning environment strengthens motivation, engagement and the willingness to learn. The focus will be on practical strategies for relationship-building and for strengthening emotional and social skills.
