This week teachers from Spain, Poland, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic attended the SMILES training for teachers in beautiful Granada in Spain. It was three days of brainstorming, discussions and new ideas.

What did we do?

✨ We have trained to foster the development of key socio-emotional skills through practical activities.

✨ We were introduced to the detailed guidelines for creating Allyship at schools with the involvement of teachers, students and parents.

✨ We identified challenges in our schools and communities and created a work plan for their implementation.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for the successful implementation of the Allyship and apply everything learned during this week in our schools.
