Context
The “Human Capital Development Training for Mentoring in Education” project was developed by Quantasia SA for all schools within the Ensinus Group, based in Portugal and Africa. In particular, the Alvares Cabral School in Lisbon, part of the group, actively participated in this innovative training program focused on Neuro-Emotional Education.
The initial request was to support school directors, psychologists, coordinators, and teachers in a personal and professional transformation journey in response to the new pedagogical needs introduced by ongoing educational reforms.
Project Objectives
The two-year training program (2018–2019) involved over 200 participants, including teachers, school principals, and corporate department heads. The main objectives were:
- To transfer neuro-emotional and soft skills to improve the quality of educational relationships
- To enhance participants’ personal and professional well-being
- To improve stress management and emotional regulation
- To promote a more empathic, conscious, and transformative educational approach
- To introduce practices of Social & Emotional Learning and educational leadership
Approach and Training Content
The project was built upon Quantasia’s integrated methodology, combining applied neuroscience, neuro-emotional coaching, and soft skills development.
Key training modules included:
- Neuro-emotional education applied to the school context
- Interpersonal communication and active listening
- Stress management and emotional resilience
- Educational leadership and relational mentoring
- Systemic approach and cybernetic vision of the human system
The program included group sessions, experiential activities, and practical tools to be applied directly in relationships with students, colleagues, and institutional stakeholders.
Results and Impact
The program generated tangible results on both individual and organizational levels:
- Increased emotional and relational awareness among participants
- Improved school climate and stronger cohesion within educational teams
- Introduction of innovative teaching practices and student management approaches
- Promotion of an educational model rooted in well-being, empathy, and self-regulation
The project helped align the school’s culture with a more human-centered, integrated, and modern vision of education, strengthening the institution’s position as a forward-thinking leader in preparing future generations.
Why This Project Was Special
This initiative represents one of the first systemic applications of neuro-emotional education within both public and private education. It demonstrated how the development of human capital can serve as a powerful driver of cultural change in the education sector. Quantasia delivered a fully tailored intervention, building a deep and lasting relationship with the leadership of the Ensinus Group and with the key educational figures of the school.
