Sharing Results at the International School Psychology Association International event

It was a great honour for our team (CARDET and Institute for Development) to participate in the Annual Conference of the International School Psychology Association (13-16 July 2021).  ISPA is a Non-Governmental Organization officially affiliated to UNESCO and the largest global school psychology association with thousands of members from around the world (https://www.ispaweb.org/). This year’s event was hosted in Cyprus and we had the opportunity to present our work from various initiatives and research projects that relate to our ProW policy experiment. Our presentations included the following papers:

1. The design and implementation of a program to enhance teachers’ wellbeing

Our work aims to support evidence-based policy making. We presented research that supports policy development for education, teachers and learners’ well-being, as well as school improvement. These presentations put us on the map of global research and emphasize the important work we do to improve the quality of education in Cyprus and Europe.
