Within the main objective of improving the skills and competences of adult educators, we have set ourselves 4 specific goals - all in relation to the VUCA world and its challenges. As a partnership we aimed to (1) collect and test best practices for introducing Polyvagal Theory into learning situations to create safe learning environments online and offline. And to (2) create and test new training materials for burnout prevention and resilience building. We also aimed to (3) increase our competitiveness and visibility in the training field and to strengthen our networking capacities. We wanted to share best practice with and provide hands-on learning opportunities to our junior trainers, (4) as a capacity-building activity and to lay the foundations for a forward-looking Central European training centre. With regard to our direct target group we designed our project to provide a large number of contact hours and individual mentoring so that real personal development and integration of skills and competences could take place. We actively provided our participants with various opportunities to develop their own unique style and approach to resilience building and nervous system friendly tools.
