About
the project
HAND IN HAND: Empowering teachers across Europe to deal with social, emotional and
diversity related career challenges (HAND:ET) is a policy experimentation project focused on
teachers by supporting their development of social and emotional competencies as well as
their diversity awareness (SEDA). The intent is to empower them for the complexity of
everyday working life with increasingly diverse classrooms and enable them to deal flexibly
with new challenges while putting their well-being at the center.
Supporting teachers’ well-being and empowering them for the complex and diverse reality and challenges they are facing on the daily basis is getting more spotlight in the educational discussions.
While there is a decrease in number of teachers entering the teaching profession and teachers are leaving the profession early, HAND:ET Consortium takes every opportunity to raise the awareness on the importance of supporting teachers well-being and empowering them for the social, emotional and diversity related career challenges.
Read the interview with Iris Marušić and Jelena Matić Bojić from Institute for Social Research in Zagreb (ISRZ), HAND:ET partner leading the theoretical overview of the core concepts important for supporting teacher socio-emotional competencies and/or well-being as well as the implementation of the HAND: ET program in Croatia.
The HAND: Empowering Teachers Programme will be based on the experiences and
lessons learnt from our previous project but also the new state of the art (and scientifically
validated – quasi-experimental design) results in the field of socio-emotional competences,
diversity awareness and teachers professional development and well-being.
