"<< Background >>We apply for this project because we believe we can contribute to making a difference in the situation of teachers and students, by strengthening resilience, reinforcing competencies for a (post)crisis context and supporting their wellbe¬ing. We plan to address some of the urgent needs generated by the COVID-19 crisis in education, which disrupted learning across the globe and highlighted that the future of learning, and the accelerated changes in modes of delivering quality education, cannot be separated from the imperative of leaving no one behind, including children and youth but also teachers. When schools shuttered, teachers were immediately tasked with implementing distance learning modalities, often without sufficient guidance, training, or resources. Educators struggled with developing ICT skills, facilitating quality distance learn¬ing; preserving their physical and mental health while supporting their students; and, especially in the case of female teachers, coping with increased workloads and family responsibilities.<< Objectives >>By implementing the project we plan to enhance wellbeing, resilience and motivation to create and embrace the innovative mindset. Educators, higher education teachers and their last year students will become more reflective, mindful and invested in creating a positive educational environment for themselves, their peers and learners. They will feel better prepared to face the post-Covid19 educational realities and to support learners and their peers. The actual outcomes will translate into the wellbeing and resilience of children, youths drawing from the innovative, reflective mindsets of their educators, whose wellbeing and mindfulness will cascade to the end-beneficiaries. By doing this we will also contribute to reinforcing inclusive educational ecosystems; foster inter‐university cooperation and internationalization efforts; strengthen consultation and communication mechanisms between educational institutions and countries and enhance the role of universities in producing research and enabling the circulation of knowledge to foster pedagogical innovation in a post-covid scenario.<< Implementation >>The activities include: mapping needs and concerns of both teachers and students through an online survey that will constitute part of the initial diagnosis; creating focus groups with relevant purposely targeted participants of the education process on different levels of education to identify their needs and expectations; analysis of initial survey data and focus groups; writing reports. Design and production of Promotional materials; planning and organization of the first Interdisciplinary Training Event; that will address issues highlighted during the mapping exercises and test and discuss proposed solutions and tools with the learners, higher education staff from participating universities and local youths from the host country. During the event, we will collaborate to improve and enhance the tools and solutions and to create new innovative ones together. It will be a learning step leading towards the next training event. We will use self-reflectivity toolkits, design thinking, mind maps and wellbeing workshops in order to build resilience, elasticity and enhance soft skills for teachers and equip them with ideas for the regeneration of education and for supporting the emotional needs of their peers and learners. All of these will foster social inclusion and combat the adverse effects of isolation and strain during COVID-19 pandemic. A second training event will be implemented to address issues highlighted during the mapping exercises and during the first training event. We treat both events both as tutoring and as learning tools to perfect our final outcomes and provide the best quality, adequate and innovative support for educators that can be cascaded to learners and their peers. We will once again test and discuss proposed solutions and tools with the new group of learners, higher education staff from participating universities and local youths from the host country. It is a learning spiral which advances project outcomes and gives us more first-hand information to continue our work with. Project results, outcomes and recommendations will be embodied in a final report, brochures, video materials and papers and disseminated through individual and collective presentations in an international conference, seminars and academic events, but also in the media and social network; amongst them:- Creation of online resource with research results, support materials for educators such as papers, brochures and video materials (Research Report and Training Course Curriculum will be included as separate outcomes) -Publishing Joint paper in a peer-reviewed journal presenting research results-Publishing Joint paper in a peer-reviewed journal presenting the learning cycle within the training events-Organizing Multiplier Event: International Conference disseminating project results: ""EDUCATORE+ for wellbeing and resilience in education""- Organizing Multiplier Event: Best practice International Scientific Seminar online- Organizing Multiplier Event: Best practice seminar for Romanian Teachers in the Romanian Language; Best practice seminar for Polish Teachers in the Polish Language.<< Results >>The overall expected outcome will be the increased quality of education and training for educators and academic teachers, enhanced resources and skills to cope with the consequences of COVID-19 crisis, the creation of an innovative, reflective mindset for teaching and learning promoting the wellbeing and resilience of educators and the learners and therefore mitigating adverse effects of the pandemic. The innovative mindset is supported by palpable toolkits and materials. The project will lead to improved provision of basic and transversal skills amongst project participants (educators, learners, academics) such as interpersonal, social, civic, intercultural and language competencies, critical and therefore reflective thinking, that will be transferable to indirect project beneficiaries (end-process educators and learners); the results include increased awareness and openness to social diversity and increased inclusiveness and accessibility of education systems and possibilities, improving the educational experience for educators and learners. This should have an impact on reinforced interaction between practice, research and policy in participating countries with the possibility of countrywide and national scalability of the project results. The participants will improve competencies, linked to occupational profile in the field of education, increasing opportunities for professional development; increased motivation and satisfaction in daily work; reflexivity will help project participants gain greater understanding and responsiveness to all kinds of diversity, to foster social inclusion, and for these directly involved during the project will increase their competence in English as the foreign language. We will create joint solutions based on participating countries experiences and knowledge. Participants will experience positive change in their wellbeing, resistance and motivation to create and embrace the innovative mindset. Educators, higher education teachers and their last year students will become more reflective, mindful and invested in creating a positive educational environment for themselves, their peers and learners. They will feel better prepared to face the post-Covid19 educational realities and to support learners and their peers. The actual outcomes will translate into the wellbeing and resilience of children, youths drawing from the innovative, reflective mindsets of their educators, whose wellbeing and mindfulness will cascade to the end-beneficiaries. Other stakeholders will be able to use the project outcomes on a larger scale to create positive social change. Participating organizations will include the project outcomes in the teaching curriculum, gaining new, innovative materials and methodologies of working with children and youth. Moreover, by doing so participating organizations will maintain and strengthen their position as the regional leaders in educational innovation."
