EU – Erasmus+ Programme
HEART is an Erasmus+ KA2 project to increase the quality of adult education and training by developing adult educators competences, awareness and knowledge linked to work engagement using a new training method – the synergy of outdoor experiential education and art methodologies- and by creating a more committed, engaging and professional environment inside their organisations. The burnout within helping professions – including educators – has been known since decades, and by now a solid research and practical intervention basis exists linked to it. However, burnout continues to be a severe issue until today. Educators, their organisations and managers lack knowledge and awareness of the burnout syndrome and its potential prevention techniques.
International
Their holistic approach to burnout – a hardly-ever-acknowledged issue in the countries involved by the project – is remarkable.
