Japanese solutions.
As promised, we are sharing the most interesting and creative burnout solutions worldwide 🌍 this time we go to – Japan
🤗 Let’s see some of the tricks which are used in the country of the rising sun and technological innovation – Japan 🇯🇵
✅ Inemuri 💤 – is the Japanese practice of sleeping at work, so some companies in Japan have rolled out designated nap rooms for overtired workers.
✅ Japanese shouting vase 🗣 – strange to hear right? 😏 It is designed to be shouted into in order to allow for the venting of anger without all the disturbing noise, the shouting vase became a smash hit.
✅ Sports 🚴♂️ – The Japanese people also relieve stress with the help of physical activity. Thus, the involvement of the population in sports is about 60%.
✅ Cat сafes 🐈– our favourite – Zootherapy. 😊❤️ You can find some cats living in establishments called Cat cafes. For a small fee, everyone can play with the cats, stroke them and thus feel relaxed and less exhausted.
✅ Singing 🎵🎤- singing is another way to forget about worries and cheer up. Therefore, karaoke bars in Japan are almost always crowded.
👌🏻We will continue investigating 📖👀 and will be back soon with another country “on the stage”.

It all started with the idea …
It all started with the idea that it’s time for teachers to look back at themselves, to think about their well-being and health.
How to learn to feel good? How do you maintain this good feeling with simple means that do not require much time and money?
Health and rehabilitation specialists provide educators with observations and practical advice on this topic.
Colleagues implemented the idea and on April 3, after school, together with the students, they went on a hike around Tyrel’s swamp.
Each participant had the opportunity to cover an 8 km. long track and discover the beauty of Lithuanian nature simultaneously.
During the hike, they discussed various activities that promote an active and healthy lifestyle and improve physical and mental health.
Educators’ desire to rest actively encourages the school community to improve: communicating, organizing events, taking care of the well-being, etc.
Such relaxing hikes by colleagues provide authentic experiences and impressions, strengthen, and improve health and involve the most diverse groups of people.
From children, school children to their parents.
A wonderful workshop.
A group of teachers, from Joniškis “Aušros” gymnasium, Lithuania had a wonderful workshop
with two psychologists to experience different techniques on how to cope with stress.
