By the implementation of the "Professional well-being" project, the goals we wanted to achieve were: a) Professional development of teachers in three levels: cognitive, behavioral and managerial. Specifically, the acquisition of knowledge in the fields of positive psychology, mental health and burn out prevention. The development of communication, language, intercultural, digital and managerial skills. The change of dysfunctional attitudes and behaviors. b) The acquisition of european experience for our newcomers organizations in order to strengthen their European identity. c) The networking and potential partnerships at european level. d) The mutual learning among peers, the learning activities and synergies through the exchange of good practices and ideas. e) The adoption of good practices, the introduction of innovative educational programs and collaborative learning models, in order to transform gradually our school into a learning community. f) New attitudes and behaviors, especially regarding the reduction of the environmental footprint. g) The facilitation of the participation of teachers who belong to vulnerable groups (health and mobility problems).
The new conditions at the school during the pandemic, the distance learning, the consequences of the long-term economic crisis and the effects of climate change, created new conditions in the school, where the only constant is the continius change. These new conditions created new needs, and we decided to assess, to detect, to record and prioritize them. In this project, our needs were reflected in two axes as follows: a) Training needs in the topics of positive psychology, stress management, physical and mental health and the prevention of burnout. These all are under the umbrella of "well-being", which is also the title of our project. b) Enhancing teachers' european identity and developing the european dimension of our organizations. To meet all the above needs, we decided -for the first time- to take advantage of the Erasmus+ program.
