Context
The “Human Capital Development Training for Mentoring in Education” project was carried out by Quantasia SA for all educational institutions of the Ensinus Group, based in Portugal and Africa. Specifically, INETE – Institute of Technical Education in Lisbon, which is part of the group, actively participated in this innovative training program based on Neuro-Emotional Education.
The initial request was to support school directors, psychologists, coordinators, and teachers through a process of personal and professional transformation, in response to the new pedagogical requirements introduced by ongoing educational reforms.
Project Objectives
The training program, developed over a two-year period (2018–2019), involved over 200 participants, including teachers, school leaders, and corporate department managers. The main objectives were to:
- Transfer neuro-emotional skills and soft skills to improve the quality of educational relationships
- Enhance the personal and professional well-being of participants
- Improve stress management and emotional regulation
- Promote a more empathic, conscious, and transformative educational approach
- Introduce practices of Social & Emotional Learning and educational leadership
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 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 directly applied in interactions with students, colleagues, and institutional stakeholders.
Results and Impact
The program generated tangible results at both individual and organizational levels:
- Increased emotional and relational awareness among participants
- Improved school climate and team cohesion within the educational environment
- Introduction of innovative practices in teaching and student management
- Dissemination of an educational model based on well-being, empathy, and self-regulation
The project helped align school culture with a more human-centered, integrated, and modern vision of education, also strengthening the institution’s position as a forward-thinking school shaping the future of learning.
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 human capital development can become a concrete driver of cultural transformation in the education sector. Quantasia worked with a tailor-made approach, building a deep and lasting relationship with the leadership of the Ensinus Group and the educational professionals of the institution.
