The project's aim was for headteachers, and other significant school leaders, to work on developing excellent practice across all schools in the consortium by addressing shared objectives across key areas that aim to improve knowledge, understanding and skill to deal effectively with all aspects of wellbeing in schools. This application tried to support objectives in Wales and England together with meeting Erasmus+ objectives to seek opportunities that: -support the professional development of those who work in education, training and youth with a view to innovating and improving the quality of teaching across Europe; -raise participants' awareness and understanding of other cultures and countries, offering them the opportunity to build networks of international contacts, to actively participate in society and develop a sense of European citizenship and identity; -increase the capacities, attractiveness and international dimension of organisations active in the education
At the end of 2018 an article appeared in a Welsh online newspaper Wales' schools in crisis: Head teachers speak out about the reality of cuts, stress and pupils' mental health. The article was a result of some recent research looking at the problems facing headteachers and other professionals in leadership roles in our schools. This project aimed to bring together headteachers, senior leaders and those aspiring to lead, to investigate how our European colleagues are managing these pressure-filled, stressful times.
