What is an Erasmus stress management course for teachers?
An Erasmus stress management course for teachers is a fully-funded professional development programme, delivered abroad under Erasmus+ Key Action 1 (KA1), that helps teachers and education staff prevent and manage work-related stress and conflict. Relations with parents and students, conflicts at work and deadlines are all potential sources of distress: here you learn to identify them in advance, test the strategies that work, and support your students in stressful and conflictual situations — in your job as well as in your personal life.
Below you’ll find who it’s for, what you’ll be able to do, how the week is run, why teachers rate ELA 5/5, and how your Erasmus+ grant covers it all. With ELA you get a genuine guarantee of quality — full compliance with Erasmus+ quality standards, real networking with peers, and end-to-end support from enrolment to the dissemination of your project — plus skills you learn in a practical way and can use as soon as you’re back.
Who it’s for — and who it’s not
This course is designed for teachers and trainers of every level (primary, secondary, vocational, adult and higher education), and educational and non-teaching staff (educational and career counsellors, school psychologists, headmasters, school management and administrative staff) — including training centres and NGOs. Participants come from all Erasmus+ eligible countries and should already hold an Erasmus+ grant for KA1. A single session may bring together teachers from different school levels — part of what makes the networking so valuable.
It’s probably not the right fit if…
- you’re looking for a purely theoretical course — this one is hands-on, with simulations, case work and practical exercises;
- you don’t have, and aren’t applying for, an Erasmus+ grant;
- your English is below B1 — you don’t need to be a native speaker and our trainers actively help, but you need a working level to take part and collaborate;
- you’re looking for therapy or treatment — this is professional development, and it doesn’t replace the support of a health professional;
- your main concern is your students’ mental health → Promoting Students’ Well-being and Mental health in schools: strategies for teachers and education staff is a better fit; for school-wide strategies against dropout, see Preventing conflicts and tackling Early School Leaving.
Stress management training for teachers: what you’ll be able to do after the course
Concrete stress and conflict management techniques, tested on typical school situations — not a one-size-fits-all lecture.
Understand your stress
Recognise the sources, symptoms and effects of stress, tell positive stress from distress, and map your own pattern of stress response.
Manage conflict at school
Apply conflict management strategies and tools to real cases, from the parent-teacher relationship to bullying, and help students handle conflict.
Build resilience
Strengthen self-esteem, assertiveness and time management, and lead relaxation, visualisation and breathing techniques for you and your students.
Preventing teacher burnout
Burnout rarely starts with a crisis: it builds up from stress that is never addressed — difficult relations with parents and students, conflicts at work, constant deadlines. This Erasmus+ stress management course works on that build-up, before it turns into exhaustion.
You learn to recognise your own pattern of stress response, strengthen the personal resources that protect you from distress — self-esteem, emotional intelligence, assertiveness, time management — and practise relaxation, breathing and self-awareness techniques you can keep using once you’re back at school.
It’s a professional development course, not therapy: if you’re already experiencing burnout, it can complement — but not replace — the support of a health professional.

Pick your Erasmus+ date and European city
Courses run throughout the year in Bologna, Palermo, Tenerife, Athens, Porto and Zagreb — so you can match your mobility to your school calendar and choose the destination you’ll love.
We keep each session small on purpose — limited places per date, so the group stays collaborative and the trainer can follow everyone. Some dates below may already be fully booked: once a session fills up we can’t add participants. If a date is confirmed or open for enrolment, pre-register now to hold your place while your paperwork is finalised — pre-registration doesn’t commit you, it just keeps your seat until you confirm.
A confirmed session is guaranteed to run: it is never cancelled.
All courses are hosted and delivered by local Academies accredited by Erasmus Learning Academy and legally established in the country where the course takes place, in full compliance with Erasmus+ requirements and quality standards.

Teachers who took this Erasmus+ course, in their words
“This mobility experience was both professionally and personally enriching. It provided me with practical tools for managing stress and conflict, which I can apply in my daily work. I also had the opportunity to exchange ideas and best practices with education professionals from different European countries, broadening my perspective on education. (…)”
“I had a really positive experience with Erasmus Learning Academy. The course was well organised, interesting and practical, and the trainer was very friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. The assistants were also very helpful and always available when needed. I really enjoyed the interactive activities and the opportunity to meet teachers from different countries and share experiences and ideas. (…) I would definitely recommend Erasmus Learning Academy to other teachers.”
“It was such a wonderful journey with the other participants. We have learned a lot from Valeria how to cope with stress and look for stressors. I would recommend this course to everyone if you have difficulty to handle stress at school but also in your private life. I loved the interactive exercises! Also the location close by the old centre of Bologna was perfect.”

What it costs
Teachers, trainers, headmasters and any other staff of education organisations are eligible for an Erasmus+ grant that covers all the costs of attending our training courses — travel, board and lodging, cultural activities and all fees. Our courses are tailored to be fully funded by Erasmus+, with different options to ensure the best comfort and quality at a price that stays within the grant.
We offer our courses in two packages. The Standard Package brings together training and accommodation in the same hotel, with breakfast, coffee breaks, networking meals (full board in Bologna) and cultural visits provided by us and fully covered by Erasmus+ funding — you just book your international flights. If you prefer to book your own room, the Essential Package (no accommodation) includes everything except accommodation and meals. We recommend the Standard Package: staying where the course takes place makes logistics, networking with fellow participants, safety and timing much easier.
The Standard Package costs EUR 1,415 in Bologna, EUR 1,235 in Palermo and Zagreb, EUR 1,265 in Tenerife, EUR 1,215 in Athens and EUR 1,335 in Porto. This price includes the course fee, certification and support fee, accommodation in a single room, breakfast, 2 coffee breaks per day, full board (in Bologna) or 3 networking meals (in the other locations), a walking tour in the venue’s city and a sum-up dissemination video.
You can stay in a single or a double room — whichever you prefer — and we can also arrange accommodation for people or relatives accompanying the participants.
Sending several colleagues? One contact, every document.
You coordinate your school’s Erasmus+ mobility on top of a full timetable. We take the paperwork, the logistics and the follow-up off your desk — for one teacher or for your whole staff.
- One dedicated contact person for your whole group, from enrolment to dissemination
- Every document your project needs: Mobility Agreements, invitation letters, detailed programme, certificates, Europass Mobility on request — and anything else your National Agency asks for
- Several sessions in the same week, so more colleagues can go at the same time — up to 3 per organisation in each session, so every group stays genuinely international
- Waiting for project approval? Pre-register now and cancel at no cost if your project is not approved
- Free rescheduling up to two months before the course, a flexibility many providers don’t offer

Practical details
Language & accessibility
Held in English (B1+ recommended). Most participants are non-native speakers; clear language, written materials and peer support make everything accessible.
Food, accommodation & accompanying people
We cater to specific dietary needs (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, lactose-free and more). We can also arrange accommodation for accompanying people and family members — spots are limited, so pre-register early to secure yours.
How many funding days to request
We recommend requesting 9 days of individual support — 7 for the course plus 2 for travel — so you can plan your stay with more flexibility and enjoy every cultural activity, from the first day to the last.
Cancellation & reschedule
Choose our fully refundable option and we refund everything if you cancel. With the standard option you’re still covered: free rescheduling at any time for force majeure (serious illness, family emergencies), and no fee for reschedules requested at least 2 months before the course.
