About ERASMUS+
What is erasmus+
Erasmus+ is the EU's programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe.
In August, our Service Manager, Rebecca, and Early Years Educator, Cristina embarked on an enlightening journey to Iceland. They participated in a @smart_teachers_play_more course focusing on Individual Educational Needs and Inclusive Education. Throughout the week, they collaborated with educators from across Europe, sharing insights and engaging in training designed to promote neuroaffirmative practices within the education system. The course was highly interactive, emphasizing active participation, collaborative learning, and engaging games. This dynamic environment allowed participants to mix and connect with peers from diverse backgrounds. A key takeaway was the importance of self-care for educators, encapsulated in the idea that “nobody can pour from an empty cup.” The team was introduced to ‘The Calm Kit,’ a valuable tool for self-regulation and creating a safe, calm classroom environment. This experience has empowered our team with practical strategies to enhance their teaching practices and support inclusive education, which they will share with their colleagues.
