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.
In February, HAND:ET project partners from Croatia, Institute for Social Research in Zagreb (ISRZ), have taken the opportunity to present the HAND:ET project, main ideas behind it and activities focused on supporting teachers well-being to the school principals and teachers from Wales and Northern Ireland who visited ISRZ, as a part of the Professional Learning Communities and The International Study Visits programmes, organized by the British Council Croatia.
The visit was focused on the well-being and mental health of students and teachers and provided the space for the exchange of information and initiatives implemented in ISRZ and schools in Wales and Northern Ireland.
