The aim of the project was to develop a model system of psychological support and professional development in this area for teachers by partners from Poland, Slovakia and Cyprus. The project was dedicated to primary and secondary school teachers. The resulting materials and e-learning courses were translated into the languages of the individual partners. The language of communication and mainly applicable to the project was English. The main activities in the project were: Result 1: Development of 7 innovative e-learning courses on: psychology of stress/anxiety in children and adults, addictions (types, mechanisms, prevention and treatment), basic therapeutic techniques (so-called Interventions), cyber threats, cyber security, mindfulness at school, mindfulness for independent work of a teacher, free and accessible via the Internet addressed to: - teachers, educators, formal and informal education centers, Result 2 workshop trainings for teachers: BLOCK I :Scope of cognitive-behavioral therapy (so-called "psychological interventions"), Behavioral and chemical addictions.

Mindfulness exercises and tools for own work, e.g., counteracting the effects of excessive stress. Result 3: on -line digital methodological guide with casing (scenarios, animations, interactive exercises). Result 4: digital report of good practices. All results have been achieved.
The project is in line with the objectives announced in 2019 by the European Commission, during the European Education Summit. The e-learning trainings proposed by the Partnership are convenient due to the organization of the working time of the educators and allow to match the timing of their implementation with the time capabilities of the learners. They meet the objectives of developing new technologies and preventing digital exclusion. Although teachers feel well-prepared for their profession, support early in their career path is not widely available .These are some of the key findings of the TALISTeaching and Learning International Survey. According to executives (school principals), 36% of EU teachers work in schools that lack qualified or high-performing teachers. Activities included improving teacher education programs, exploring flexible entry into the teaching profession, providing opportunities for professional development and career advancement based on transparent criteria. Teachers, thanks to the project, felt better prepared for the profession if their formal education included content knowledge and teaching and learning methods.
