Nadja and Verena Bachmann invite teachers of Trentino Alto Adige to the workshop “EmPowerment for Teachers of German”, held at IPRASE – the Provincial Institute for Educational Research and Innovation in Rovereto. The workshop is aimed at German teachers in lower and upper secondary schools.

“EmPowerment for Teachers of German: inspiring ideas, practical impulses, and renewed energy for your German lessons. With elements of Linguistic Psychodramaturgy for Language Acquisition (PDL) and LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®.”

The workshop responds to a need expressed by many teachers: to bring more colour into everyday professional life and to discover which activities make not only students, but also teachers, feel happy and fulfilled.
