About the Project

 

We are 6 partners (Czech Republic, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Latvia) who agreed on a joint solution to the topic of well-being in schools. Especially in the post-Covid era, it is important to focus on the well-being of students and teachers. Problems occur in all partner countries. In the first step, we would like to find out whether the perception of well-being is similar or different - together we will create a well-being map in order to agree on terminology and a common definition of terms.

The next step will be a survey among secondary school students (14 - 20) in all partner countries - the questionnaire will be created together at meetings and depending on which aspects of well-being the partners want to focus on. The questionnaire survey will be processed into presentations and a report on the state of well-being.

According to the results of the survey, the individual partners will focus on their strong points and prepare practical methods to achieve such a good state, how to support a certain area of well-being. Next, the partners will develop an example of good practice describing the selected area.

Questionnaires, examples of good practice and the results of the questionnaire survey will be provided to interested persons, distributed to schools, organizers...

Well-being is important for developing important democratic competences. Positive emotions are associated with the development of flexibility and adaptability, openness to other cultures and beliefs, self-efficacy and tolerance of ambiguity. (the Council of Europe Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture.)
