On 18 June 2025, Asociación Mundus hosted the international webinar “Empowering Teachers: Fostering Motivation and Emotional Growth in the Classroom”, as part of the Erasmus+ project From Burnout to Balance.
The session brought together educators, trainers and experts from across Europe to explore concrete strategies to support mental health, motivation and emotional resilience in teaching and learning environments.
Our speakers shared powerful insights and tools from across Europe:
