How can I as a teacher deal better with crises at school? And how can I improve my mental resilience? Resilience is essential, especially in times of great upheaval and new challenges in school life, it is also the best prophylaxis against burnout. In autumn 2023 as part of the Erasmus+ KA3 project NEST, the European Office of the Board of Education for Vienna offered several workshops on increasing resilience for head teachers and teachers. In addition to information about chronic stress, a renowned resilience trainer provided participants with tried-and-tested methods for effectively preventing overload and counteracting exhaustion as well as increasing well-being and inner strength.
