From Burnout to Balance: Project Successfully Concludes with Strong Community and Lasting Results

The From Burnout to Balance – Supporting Educators’ Wellbeing project has officially come to an end this November, marking the conclusion of 15 months of collaboration, training and commitment to strengthening wellbeing in education across Europe.

Developed by GIP FIPAN (France), Agriculture School Križevci (Croatia) and Asociación Mundus (Spain), the project set out to equip teachers with practical tools to recognise, prevent and address stress and burnout – challenges increasingly present in today’s learning environments. Through a combination of training activities, coaching moments and international exchange, the project has supported educators in building emotional resilience and creating healthier classroom climates for both teachers and students.

Training and real classroom application

Throughout the project, teachers from all three countries participated in training sessions on stress prevention, coaching techniques and developing emotional resilience. These activities helped educators strengthen their emotional awareness and apply practical wellbeing strategies directly in their classrooms. Local follow-up workshops enabled teachers to continue reflecting on their experiences and to adapt the methods to their own school contexts.

International exchange and community building

To maintain a strong European dimension, partners organised two international online webinars, bringing together teachers and invited experts from different wellbeing initiatives. These sessions created opportunities for peer learning, sharing challenges and building a wider European community of practice.

The project was also presented at the EfVET Conference 2024 in Fátima, reaching more than 450 participants and engaging teachers from across Europe in a dedicated workshop.

New resources and long-term sustainability

One of the most significant achievements of the project is the availability of high-quality training materials, which remain accessible for teachers, trainers and organisations interested in strengthening wellbeing in education. Over the course of the project, more than 50 teachers were trained directly through the project activities and through the integration of the materials into Mundus’ Erasmus+ KA1 training offer for teachers and educators from their network.

The project also achieved a strong international reach. Through its participation at the EfVET International Conference and the organisation of three online events, the project connected with over 100 education professionals across Europe. At national level, more than 300 educators and experts in Spain, France and Croatia were reached through local workshops, training activities and social media dissemination.

These actions ensured that the project’s methodologies, tools and messages spread far beyond the initial pilot groups, creating a wider community of practitioners committed to wellbeing in education.

Building on this positive momentum, the partners are already working on the second edition of the project, preparing a new proposal for the Erasmus+ KA2 call in 2026, with the aim of expanding the work initiated in this first cycle.
