Erasmus+, Courses and Training, Dublin 6.2026

Erasmus+,  Courses and Training in Dublin by Europass Teacher Academy

Subject: “Conflict Management, Emotional Intelligence and Bullying Prevention”

Professional development is a way of life. It is not always something that others have to provide for you, even if those others are the educational system and its institutions. Lifelong learning is a way of growing throughout your career and in life.

It takes motivation, passion, and time. You need to look for opportunities that suit your interests and support your work. Sometimes you need to become a learner again in order to become a better teacher for your students.

Erasmus+ mobilities are about much more than attending courses and training sessions.

They encourage you to develop a mindset of curiosity, flexibility, and readiness for change. They inspire you to find certified organisations to work with, study the needs of your students and your school community, and design a complete project together with another school or organisation within the European Union.

They also encourage you to involve your colleagues and students, creating a team that shares knowledge and experiences with the whole school community. In this way, more people become involved, gain experience, and help bring positive change to the school.

Our own school’s needs led us to focus on conflict management, emotional intelligence, and bullying prevention. As a result, we prepared two Erasmus+ mobility projects: one student mobility in Timișoara in May 2026, and one staff mobility for three teachers who attended a courses and training programme in Dublin in June 2026.

The experience was unforgettable. Thanks to Erasmus+ funding, we travelled to Dublin and attended a training course at Europass Teacher Academy from 21 to 26 June 2026. Our trainer was Michael Farrell, an inspiring teacher who adapted the course to our needs.

For five days, we took part in practical activities combined with theory. The lessons were based on teamwork, communication, and sharing ideas. Our group included three participants from Greece, one from Germany, two from Türkiye, one from Portugal, and one from Italy.

This multicultural environment reflected the values of Erasmus+: respect, inclusion, cooperation, and interest in learning about each other’s cultures. We also learned a great deal about Irish culture through the stories and experiences shared by our trainer, Michael Farrell.

On Monday, after class, we enjoyed an international food evening, where everyone shared traditional dishes from their own country. Later, we joined a walking tour of Dublin with our wonderful guide, Ruth, and learned about Ireland’s rich history.

During the following days, after our lessons, we discovered hurling, Ireland’s national sport. We also took part in traditional Irish dancing lessons with the excellent teacher John Davis. We walked along the beautiful cliffs of Howth, enjoyed the amazing scenery, and tasted the local food. We also joined a half-day tour to Power’s Court and visited the highest waterfall in Ireland.

One of the greatest lessons of the week was discovering how much we have in common with people who were complete strangers just a few days before. We learned how valuable it is to hear new perspectives, exchange good practices, and broaden the way we think.

We returned home richer in knowledge, friendships, and experiences.

Everyone should have the chance to experience Erasmus+. It opens the door to new knowledge, new cultures, and new friendships. Above all, it promotes inclusion, cooperation, and equal opportunities for everyone.

The song that plays in the video is the result of the great collaboration that led our colleague from Germany to write and compose it using AI tools. It was a wonderful surprise and shows the energy we had as a team.
