Nowadays it is easy to feel overwhelmed and to think that we cannot manage our daily tasks. Stressful situations can manifest themselves both in our professional and personal life and it can be difficult to avoid conflict when we find ourselves in a stressful environment. In this course the participants had the opportunity, through theory and practical activities, to learn about the tools to manage and overcome conflict and stressful situations.

The new edition of the course <\/span>\u201cStress and Conflict Management: the way to resilience and satisfaction\u201d<\/span> took place in Bologna from <\/span>24\/08\/2025 to 30\/08\/2025<\/span>. The participants came from across Europe, with Michael from <\/span>vhs Aschaffenburg<\/span>, Eric from <\/span>107. Oberschule<\/span>, and Martin from <\/span>Ernst Reinstorf Schule<\/span> in Germany. From the Czech Republic came Hana and Iveta from <\/span>Pr\u00e1v\u011b te\u010f! o.p.s.<\/span>, while Konstantina represented the <\/span>Environmental Education of Vamos <\/span>in Greece.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

On the first day participants reflected on the meaning of the word <\/span>stress<\/span> by <\/span>brainstorming in groups<\/span>. Stress is caused by a series of <\/span>stressors<\/span> that can be related to many factors: physical, environmental, family-related or work-related. However, small amounts of stress can also have <\/span>positive outcomes<\/span> and push us to achieve our goals or to respect a deadline for example. For this reason the participants learnt to distinguish between <\/span>Distress (negative) and Eustress (positive).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During this course the participants learnt about a series of strategies, both <\/span>cognitive and behavioural<\/span>, designed to overcome stressful situations in the workplace. Through group activities they had the opportunity to increase their planning and time management skills. In order to manage stressful situations better they practiced <\/span>breathing exercises<\/span>, muscle relaxation and visualisation.
\u200b<\/span><\/span>
Another topic that was discussed during the course was empathy, which is a <\/span>fundamental skill<\/span> when it comes to dealing with conflicts. It can be tricky sometimes to show an empathic response, especially when we haven\u2019t experienced the same feeling as the person in front of us. However, it is possible to practice it and the participants learnt how to distinguish it from other types of responses.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
