We all have gone through tremendous changes during the last two years, not only in education, but also in our lives. These changes increased stress and insecurities, they diminished self-confidence and increased loneliness.
In a study conducted with 5,000 people in the US, staggering 26% of the people reported symptoms of trauma or stress-related disorders, and 30% reported symptoms of anxiety or depression. 11% reported that they even considered even suicide during the prior days of the pandemic.
Over the last 2 years, it seems that digital tools have grown more important than real-life social interactions. Social distancing has also led to increased social anxiety: more and more people have difficulties being exposed to others for a longer time, while others find it difficult to be alone with themselves.
In this environment, how can we find ‘ourselves’ again, as teachers and students? How can teachers continue to support students in their journey to become independent and confident learners – whilst ensuring their own sanity?
