Context
The “Human Capital Development Training for Mentoring in Education” project was carried out by Quantasia SA for all educational institutions within the Ensinus Group, based in Portugal and Africa. In particular, the Colégio de Alfragide Preschool in Lisbon actively participated in this innovative training program based on Neuro-Emotional Education.
The initial aim was to support school leaders, psychologists, coordinators, and teachers in a personal and professional transformation journey, in response to the new pedagogical demands introduced by ongoing school reforms.
Project Objectives
The two-year training program (2018–2019) involved over 200 participants, including teachers, school principals, and corporate department heads. The main goals were:
- To transfer neuro-emotional skills and soft skills to improve the quality of educational relationships
- To enhance the personal and professional well-being of participants
- To improve stress management and emotional regulation
- To promote a more empathic, conscious, and transformative educational approach
- To introduce Social & Emotional Learning practices and educational leadership models
Approach and Training Content
The project was based on Quantasia’s integrated methodology, which combines applied neuroscience, neuro-emotional coaching, and soft skills development.
The main training modules included:
- Neuro-emotional education applied to the school environment
- 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 featured 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 impact both on individual and organizational levels:
- Greater emotional and relational awareness among participants
- Improved school climate and team cohesion within the educational staff
- Introduction of innovative practices in teaching and student management
- Spread of an educational model based on well-being, empathy, and self-regulation
The project contributed to aligning the school culture with a more human-centered, integrated, and modern vision of education, also reinforcing the school’s positioning as a forward-thinking institution shaping the future of education.
Why This Project Was Special
This initiative represents one of the first systemic applications of neuro-emotional education in both public and private education settings. It demonstrated how human capital development can become a concrete driver of cultural transformation within the education sector. Quantasia adopted a tailor-made approach, building a deep and lasting relationship with the leadership of the Ensinus Group and the educational staff of the school.
