Our courses
MEL Courses
We offer a Group course and an individual course in order to learn how to learn in a conscious and effective way (ME) adapted for all those who want to improve their learning skills, reach their training goals and realize their potential.
A Test Preparation Course is suitable for those who have to take a test or an exam and want to manage their emotional load.
A Vocational course aimed at those who want to identify their vocation in line with the choice of an adequate training path.
MET Courses
The Group course and the individual course useful for the development of a mindful and effective way of teaching (ME) is suited for anyone who would like to teach effectively, safeguarding their psychological well-being and their motivation for the teaching mission.
Course for MEL facilitators
The MEL facilitator course is a pathway that trains MEL learning facilitators. The acquired skills can be integrated into an existing professional profile or outline a new one as a facilitator of learning.
The course issues a MEL facilitator certificate which is not currently accredited at a istitutional level. The MEL-MET Association has, as its mission, the accreditation of this certificate.
The MEL-MET Association needs to create a network of facilitators in order to spread MEL amongst learning contexts.
Mindfulness is useful for MEL and MET because it favors creativity, awareness, presence and self-regulation.
Coaching is useful for MEL because it is oriented towards achieving goals and defining strategies to achieve them.
