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. In particular, ISG Business and Economics School in Lisbon, part of the group, actively participated in this innovative training program based on Neuro-Emotional Education.
The initial request was to support school leaders, psychologists, coordinators, and teachers in a journey of personal and professional transformation, in response to the new pedagogical needs 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 directors, and corporate department leaders. The main objectives were to:
- Transfer neuro-emotional competencies 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 approach, which combines applied neuroscience, neuro-emotional coaching, and soft skills development.
The core 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 involved group sessions, experiential activities, and practical tools that could be directly applied in interactions with students, colleagues, and institutional stakeholders.
Results and Impact
The program generated tangible impact both at the individual and organizational level:
- Increased emotional and relational awareness among participants
- Improved school climate and cohesion within educational teams
- Introduction of innovative practices in teaching and student management
- Dissemination of an educational model rooted in well-being, empathy, and self-regulation
The project helped align the academic culture with a more human, integrated, and modern vision of education, while also reinforcing ISG’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 the European academic landscape. It demonstrated how human capital development can be a concrete driver of cultural change, even within the education sector. Quantasia adopted a tailored approach, building a deep and lasting relationship with the leadership of the Ensinus Group and the key educational stakeholders at the institution.
