After the first session on humor, comedy and stand -up comedy and how we can use them in class, we continued to explore our LOL-training.

Our partnership with Barcelona “Europass Academy of Barcelona” organised other workshops on different but significant topics, regarding teaching and learning.

plan to produce another MOOC about Positive Education, Inclusion and Well-being in Adult Education.

During the training sessions we discussed lots of topics, initiating with the exploration of the definition of positive education, and how can we bring wellness and improve well-being not only into our personal life but also into the classroom. By dedicating some of our lessons to our students’ personal wellbeing, we encourage them to explore their inner perceptions and bring awareness to what they feel is lacking.

Another very important topic we discussed was Inclusion. Are our lessons inclusive?

Within this we did not refer merely to physical diversity, but to personal attitudes as well, which can be, for example, different and personal ways of learning. The first step is to really respect diversity, recognize it and give it value.

Finally, we discussed the role of creativity within education. Nowadays, it is a core skill in the workforce: to think outside-the-box. However, within schools or education in general, there is not as much importance on developing and training creativity, and sometimes they do not stimulate student’s creativity flow.

Throughout these workshops, we practiced these techniques through reflection and comedy exercises. For example, one of the most engaging exercises was writing and then performing and invented dialogue between characters of the same painting. Super creative and funny!

Here are some reviews of the attendees:

“I personally loved the training about well-being. It’s unfortunately something we do not always take into consideration, but to stay well, not only physically, but mentally, spiritually, etc.. It really matters. In life, at work, always. I’ve learned that I Should really listen to my body and myself and dedicate time to what I feel is important. “
