Μια τάξη που νοιάζεται: η ανάπτυξη της υποστήριξης για την ψυχική υγεία στα σχολεία

Η υποστήριξη της ψυχικής υγείας των μαθητών δεν ήταν ποτέ πιο σημαντική. Οι εκπαιδευτικοί είναι συχνά οι πρώτοι που αντιλαμβάνονται όταν ένας μαθητής αντιμετωπίζει δυσκολίες, και το να ξέρουν πώς να αντιδράσουν μπορεί να κάνει πραγματική διαφορά. Από 6 to 12 September 2026, εκπαιδευτικοί από όλη την Ευρώπη συγκεντρώθηκαν στο Παλέρμο για το μάθημα Προώθηση της ευημερίας και της ψυχικής υγείας των μαθητών στα σχολεία: Στρατηγικές για εκπαιδευτικούς και εκπαιδευτικό προσωπικό, μια εβδομάδα αφιερωμένη στην κατανόηση, την υποστήριξη και την ενίσχυση της ευημερίας στην τάξη.

The group brought together a mix of experiences and backgrounds. From Πολωνία came Monika and the two Magdalena from Zespół Szkół Mechanicznych w Rzeszowie, Dóra joined from Barcsi Széchényi Ferenc Gimnázium in Hungary, και Terhi from Suomen ympäristöopisto Sykli in Φινλανδία. Claire represented Lycée sainte odile in France.

The week began with introductions and an overview of ψυχική υγεία και ευεξία στα σχολεία, exploring what these terms mean, why they matter, and how they can affect both learning and relationships. Participants also shared experiences from their own schools and exchanged on the challenges they are currently facing. From there, the group explored ways to raise awareness within the school community, recognise early signs of difficulties, and build a culture that encourages openness and support.

The final sessions explored cognitive and behavioural strategies, giving participants practical tools and activities that they could adapt to different age groups and learning contexts.

Participants also explored how mindfulness and sensory-based activities can help students regulate their emotions and reduce stress during the school day. Through practical activities in the classroom, they experimented with different ways of focusing their attention on their surroundings, their senses, and their emotions. These exercises helped them understand how simple mindfulness techniques can be used in everyday school settings to support students’ well-being, concentration, and emotional regulation. 

By the end of the course, participants left Palermo with a clearer understanding of how mental health can be addressed in schools, not only in response to difficulties, but also as an ongoing and proactive part of teaching. They returned home with new strategies, activities, and perspectives to share with colleagues and bring into their own classrooms, helping to create school environments where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
