The experience was fantastic
The experience was fantastic. The team welcomed me with open arms and everyone was incredibly friendly and supportive. The training I received in Tenerife helped me immensely and gave me valuable knowledge about teaching methods, ice-breaking activities, and tasks that made us reflect on ourselves. I had the opportunity to meet many new and interesting people who contributed positively to my experience. Overall, it was an enriching journey both professionally and personally.

Excellent!
The course was very interesting and I really appreciate the methodology.
The theory was present but only for short period of time, because immediatly they passed for activities that made us understand better the theory behind the practice. We did a lot of activities and games to put us on the mind of students and understanding better their point of view.

Dynamic and transformational
I attended the Non-Formal Education for Inclusion course with Andreia Teixeira and had never before been to such a dynamic training experience. Also had me questioning and thinking about lots of things I hadn't before. All of the group, actually.

An Inspiring Erasmus+ Experience in Istanbul
Participating in the Erasmus+ course in Istanbul was an unforgettable and deeply enriching experience. From the very first day, the trainers demonstrated not only strong expertise but also genuine passion for empowering educators. Their guidance introduced me and the other participants to innovative and highly effective strategies that we can now bring into our Portuguese classrooms to truly make a difference.
The training sessions were remarkably practical, focusing on real situations teachers face daily. We were encouraged to experiment, reflect, and exchange perspectives, which made the learning process both meaningful and immediately applicable. What truly stood out, however, was the atmosphere created by the trainers: friendly, supportive, and filled with empathy. They ensured that everyone felt comfortable, valued, and motivated to learn.
This course was more than professional development—it was an inspiring journey shared with amazing educators from different backgrounds. I returned home with new tools, expanded perspectives, and a renewed sense of purpose as a teacher. I wholeheartedly recommend this Erasmus+ experience to any educator seeking to grow both professionally and personally.
