Summary/Abstract: For the last two years, a project partnership consortium comprising seven partners from six different European countries addressed the priority of Grundtvig Multilateral projects “Quality assurance of Adult Learning, including the professional development of staff” in the frame of the project WELNESS-Skills for True well-being,527797-LLP-1-2012-1-RO-GRUNDTVIG. The main aims were to improve the content and delivery of adult education through providing adult education organizations with tools that enhance the well-being of educators/Professionals/Tutors and adult learners. Well-being has been identified as a foundation for effective teaching and learning. Educators/Professionals/Tutors in adult education are especially vulnerable to burn out syndrome. The research which was performed showed that the main areas in which adult educators and learners need support were: stress and health, communication and relationships and effective teaching methods/self-esteem In the present paper the final outputs of the project are presented: they are three workshops and three seminars for the stakeholders of our project addressing specifically the problematic issues and providing tools to be used both by educators and learners to enhance wellbeing and lower stress.
