Integrated Skills for Educators in the Digital and Emotional Age

This 7-day training course offers adult educators an integrated approach to personal and professional development, combining emotional intelligence, soft skills,
mindfulness practices, and digital innovation. Participants will explore how to enhance communication, well-being, and engagement in the adult learning
environment while also discovering how to use inclusive digital tools and AI to support personalized learning. Designed for the modern educator, this course provides
hands-on experiences and practical strategies to create emotionally safe, digitally enriched, and learner-centered classrooms.
Grounded in current adult education pedagogies and inclusive teaching frameworks, this course promotes a holistic approach that connects personal awareness with digital
fluency and professional adaptability.
