Objectives

Our school can be improved by supporting teachers : 1) To better understand the dynamics of conflict; 2) Develop social competence and especially their ability to solve interpersonal problems (and intra-personal) and learn to do the same process with students, especially those with fewer opportunities; 3) To explore diverse tools for self-discovery and development of creativity that will help them personally and professionally; 4) Have an exchange of experiences during the course with their colleagues to get a better view of how conflicts are experienced from their perspective; 5) Develop their emotional competence and assertiveness in conflict situations; 6) Develop their language skills in English as a working language standard Erasmus + projects abroad.

Background

Our school is witnessing frequent interpersonal conflicts and crises among students that are often poorly managed. Such interpersonal conflicts lead to difficult and critical situations, such as social isolation, low performance, acts of violence, and premature school dropouts. Students victims of bullying are often teenagers on which the burden stereotypes stem from discriminatory prejudices. Although attention has been given to the problem, the overall efforts to deal with school violence are too often inadequate or insufficient. Covid-19 additionally effected on the behaviour and mental health both the teachers and the students. One of the weaknesses is the capacity of the teachers to recognise conflict and adequately react. The better educators understand the nature of conflict, the better able they are to manage conflicts constructively.
