May 9 – 12, Malenovice, Czechia
Topic: “Building Resilience”
On this page you will find videos of plenaries, as well as Powerpoints and a picture gallery.
Videos:
Birgit Bergmann
on „Salutogenesis for Educators“
Saluto = Health, genesis = creation. Instead of focusing on deficiencies, salutogenesis asks „What resources do I have to sustain health?“
Laci Demeter
on „Building Resilience in our School Community“
Helpful observations, Bible wisdom, and strategies in helping adults and students to stay healthy in the face of challenges.
Jan Habl
on „Character and Moral Resilience“
Comenius (1592-1670), whose pioneering pedagogy still impacts ours, was a model of resilience, victorious over most extreme persecution. See what he meant by „Character = Knowing good – wanting good – doing good“.
on “Good Character – how can it be taught?“
The practical application of the first speech.
Agnieszka Piekarska
on “Challenges facing the new generation”
The fast increase of complexity, the numerous and contradictory identities to choose from, the floods of information (fake or true?), the many temptations of addiction – how do they affect our youths, and how can we assist them in finding meaning?
Theresa Thiel
on “Dealing with traumatised children“
A recording of the workshop Theresa presented, based on the theory and practice of trauma pedagogy in her kindergarten.
Powerpoint presentations:
Building Healthy Relationships
Birgit Bergmann’s first presentation was not video-recorded, but the Ppt slides are a good introduction to the Transactional Analysis and the Drama Triangle.
Salutogenesis for Teachers
This Ppt goes with the video at the top of this page – Birgit Bergmann’s presentation on how to change perspective from a deficiency-focused to a resource-focused model.
Building Resilience in our schools
The slides that go with Laci Demeter’s presentation (above, video). Also speaking for themselves, if you don’t have the time to watch the video.
Character and Moral Resilience
These are the slides that go with Jan Habl’s presentation of the same title.
Can good character be taught?
Start with slide #30. You can listen to it and watch the slides simultaneously on parallel tabs by switching back and forth. Sorry our technology does not yet offer integral videos and presentations.
Prayer Spaces in schools
Coming from England, Prayer Spaces have been created also in other countries, giving students (and teachers!) an opportunity to pull away from the competitive classroom and focus creatively on the important questions of life.
Mental health challenges facing our youths
On/offline: How to understand the next generation
The slides from Agnieszka Piekarska’s presentation – lots of informative figures and helpful ideas.
