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, EPAR Vocational School in Lisbon actively participated in this innovative training program based on Neuro-Emotional Education.
The initial request was to support school leaders, psychologists, coordinators, and teachers through a journey of personal and professional transformation, 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 directors, and corporate department managers. The main goals were:
- To transfer neuro-emotional competencies 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 directly applied in relationships with students, colleagues, and institutional stakeholders.
Results and Impact
The program generated tangible results at both individual and organizational levels:
- Greater emotional and relational awareness among participants
- Improved school climate and stronger cohesion within educational teams
- Introduction of innovative practices in teaching and student management
- Dissemination 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, while also strengthening the school’s positioning as a forward-thinking institution shaping the future of learning.
Why This Project Was Special
This initiative represents one of the first systemic applications of neuro-emotional education in both public and private education. It demonstrated how human capital development can become a powerful driver of cultural change within the education sector. Quantasia adopted a tailor-made approach, building a deep and lasting relationship with the Ensinus Group leadership and the educational professionals of the institution.
