The multiplier event of our project in Greece is coming!

26/01/2024

The multiplier event of Italy was held in Brescia, Lombardy - Italy, from 21.11.23 to 4.12.23 and was hosted by the “Niccolò Copernico” Scientific High School. "The teacher burnout and the new educational reality as a
challenge of cooperation and professional enhancement" can naturally be linked to the well-being of students and teachers, to the awareness of their role in school and society, to the need to promote the fight against gender discrimination, and in particular for the “culture of respect”. The event began with the presentation of the project, its purpose, objectives, and results. Then the councilor for "Youth Policies and Equal Opportunities" of the municipality of Brescia, the deputy principal of our high school, and the president of the Association “Casa delle Donne” presented its project and its development and in particular explained the traveling exhibition illustrating the path of female conquests from the end of the 1800s to the present day. It was attended by a group of representatives of our students (about 60 students from our 60 classes), accompanied by their teachers and other stakeholders. All participants agreed on the importance of the role of schools and communities in promoting conscious, responsible behavior among students and, through different scenarios, in combating the problem of burnout among teachers.
