GLOS Educatief Well-being Webinars Teambuilding

Lunch webinar on the wellbeing of the school team

Published May 21, 2025

The wellbeing of students begins with the wellbeing of teachers. When they feel supported, connected and resilient, this has a direct positive impact on their pupils and students. But the hectic pace of full schedules and high workloads demands a great deal from teachers. That is precisely why the Welbevinden op School programme will focus on 3 June, during Mental Health Week (2–8 June), on the foundation of a positive school culture: the wellbeing of the school team.

Lunch webinar on the wellbeing of the school team

During this interactive lunch webinar, you will discover how to work together to build:

Greater connection and enjoyment at work
A resilient school team
Shared responsibility for a positive school culture

The lunch webinar will provide you with insights and practical tools for strengthening the wellbeing of the people who support education. It will also inspire participants through practical examples.

Participants will engage in conversation with:

Laura Stroo, school psychologist at NIP. She brings her expertise in mental health, resilience and a professional culture. Laura will explain how she and her colleagues have worked with many school teams in recent years on resilience and strengthening the professional school culture.
Els Mast, programme initiator and school leader. She will share her experience from Agora Hub 030. Connection, autonomy, relationships and ownership are central there. Els will show how creating space for development and collaboration within the team not only increases enjoyment at work, but also directly benefits pupils and professionals themselves.

Who is it for?

This webinar is intended for education professionals, care coordinators, school leadership, school psychologists, study-career counsellors, mentors, careers advisers, healthy school advisers and anyone committed to the wellbeing of children and young people in education.

Speakers:

Marijn Knibbeler, project leader of Welbevinden op School at Pharos and school psychologist.
Laura Stroo, school psychologist at the Dutch Institute of Psychologists (NIP) and teacher.

Our Food Week

From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
