World Mental Health Day!

World Mental Health Day 2024

Die psychische Gesundheit von Jugendlichen war schon immer wichtig, die COVID-19-Pandemie hat deutlich gemacht, wie dringend wir sie unterstützen müssen.

Besonders Sekundarschüler:innen leiden oft unter den langfristigen Auswirkungen.

Mit unserem Projekt SchoolsForSense setzen wir uns dafür ein, Lehrer:innen mit dem nötigen Wissen und den Ressourcen auszustatten, um die psychische Gesundheit ihrer Schüler:innen aktiv zu fördern, präventiv zu arbeiten und frühzeitig einzugreifen.

Gemeinsam schaffen wir sichere und unterstützende Lernumgebungen, in denen alle Schüler:innen wachsen und erfolgreich sein können.

Lasst uns gemeinsam das Bewusstsein für psychische Gesundheit stärken und das Wohlbefinden unserer Jugend in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Erfahrt mehr über das Projekt

Empowering Education

How TUTOR and EU Initiatives Foster Equality and Inclusion Across Europe

According to Article 14 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, everyone has the right to education and access to vocational and continuing training.

The European Union places great emphasis on multiculturalism, language acquisition, and the exchange of learners and educators.

These priorities were reaffirmed at the European Education Summit 2023, where the role of teachers and investment in high-quality educators were highlighted as crucial for Europe’s future.

The European Education Strategy ET 2030 aims to strengthen teachers’ skills, promote equal opportunities and inclusion, and reduce school dropout rates. Teachers are expected to demonstrate not only subject competence but also relationship-building skills and conflict management abilities when dealing with students, parents, and colleagues.

This is where the TUTOR project comes in. TUTOR is a European Teacher Academies project that aims to improve equal opportunities and inclusion in secondary education through teacher training that enables them to provide targeted support and individualised guidance to students. Over the next few weeks, the TUTOR partners will submit proposals for national policy recommendations, discuss them with experts and finalise them.

In a further step, the national recommendations will then be compared in roundtables with experts, discussed and condensed into European policy recommendations. If you are interested in taking part in this important debate or would like more information, please contact us at: f.steffen@dieberater.com.

Exploring tourism trends in each partner country

To assess the current tourism status in each partner country, we employed a three-step approach:

1. Desk Research: We began with extensive research within our own country, analysing official statistics, reports, and publications to understand current tourism trends and challenges.

2. Focus Groups: Next, we conducted focus groups with VET providers to gather qualitative insights and diverse perspectives.

3. Interviews: Finally, we carried out interviews with rural entrepreneurs to gain deeper insights and formulate comprehensive recommendations for tourism development.

After completing these steps, we now have a detailed understanding of the tourism status in each country. The individual country reports are then combined to create a comprehensive international report, providing a holistic view of the global tourism landscape. This report helps identify common challenges and opportunities, facilitating the development of coordinated strategies to enhance European tourism.
