Our Erasmus+ programme took us to Florence, Italy in March 2024. In Florence we were met by other teachers from all over Europe and began a five day course based on well-being and tackling higher order thinking outside of the teaching realm. As a group we aimed to foster classrooms where we have creative environments and encourage the children’s interests in learning. We also got to network with like minded teachers from across Europe and hear what they experience in their schools. With the Erasmus + programme we get to experience the culture of the city and Florence was a spectacular sight. We all returned to school re-energised and eager to promote the skills and strategies from the course.
