‘PASS’
Primary Mindful Schools
(01.2023 – 02.2024)
The aim of the project was to promote the mental health of pupils through psychoeducational programmes in the classroom.
It focused on qualifying teachers in relation to mental illness and resilience development as well as establishing a supportive school culture for the 3rd and 4th grades of primary schools.
Here, the educational disadvantage of children from high-risk families with parents with mental illness was tackled and challenges such as reduced learning success, school absenteeism and social exclusion were addressed.
The project offered low-threshold and preventative support that avoided stigmatisation and took into account the special needs of schools and pupils.
The programme was aimed at primary schools, their teachers and educational staff.
Together with project members, teachers and educational staff, teaching units on resilience development in the primary school sector, mental illness and health (considering knowledge deficits regarding mental distress) and information on how to deal with classroom-related behavioural problems were offered at primary schools in various countries such as Germany, Spain, Italy and Iceland.
‘Mindful Schools’
(03.2022 – 12.2022)
Mindful Schools – a project to promote mental health with psychoeducational teaching programmes.
It was implemented at various international schools in Berlin, Barcelona and Reykjavik, with prior training for teachers, educational staff and school employees. The target group was grades 7 to 11 (secondary school), with the focus on topics such as promoting resilience, self-esteem, personal needs, stress, bullying, school anxiety, mental illness and problems at home, that were discussed in workshops, study groups and teaching units, as well as on cooperative dialogue.
The aim was to create an opportunity to develop a mindful school culture by providing concrete ways of taking action as well as materials and to continue developing school in the sense of a mindful school culture.
