From Burnout to Balance
The From Burnout to Balance Project is a Key Action 2 initiative focused on small-scale partnerships in adult education. Its mission is to reduce stress in educators by promoting collaboration, autonomy, and lifelong learning. It provides support through training, coaching groups, and mobility activities to help teachers manage stress and enhance their wellbeing.
The project brings together organizations from Italy, Spain, and Portugal to create accessible tools and methods that help even small entities organize high-quality internships abroad.
