“I received valuable advice on how to manage stress, thanks to the shared experiences of all participants. I realized that this is a common challenge and that conflict situations are similar across our work environments. I found the discussions and resulting debates particularly engaging, especially as we tried to persuade each other during the case simulations we were presented with.”
— Srebra Ilchevska

“After the training in Funchal, Madeira, I returned home inspired and full of new ideas that I am already applying in my work! Sharing various practices and engaging in dialogue with like-minded people encourages us to rethink the standard approaches and to seek out alternative methods that we can successfully use in our schools.”
