The Center for Crisis Intervention in Lublin is implementing the project of the Lublin City Civic Budget in 2024 “STOP AGRESSION AGAINST YOUNG PEOPLE”. One of the many activities is to support educators, educators and school psychologists by organizing workshops on universal prevention and mental health promotion.
From August 26 – 28, 2024r at the headquarters of the Center for Crisis Intervention, 6A Probostwo Street, the Workshop of Group I “ISKRA of resilience of children and youth” was held, the participants were 20 people, i.e. psychologists, pedagogues, educators from Elementary Schools in Lublin.
What are the assumptions of the ISKRA of Resilience program?
The ISKRA of Resilience program is addressed to young people aged 11-15 and aims to promote resilience understood as the ability to control the way we react to difficult events and cope with challenges and adversities. The Center for Positive Education, on the basis of its long-standing cooperation with the English Partnership for Children Foundation, has developed the Polish version of the program entitled ISKRA Resilience (SPARK – Resilience). The ISKRA Resilience program is a tool to help build resilience, mental resilience, better understanding of oneself, which will support educational work and preventive activities at school. We know that this is possible.
Over the course of 11 meetings, students will learn how to strengthen their inner strength by recognizing and developing their strengths.

At the core of the program are tasks and exercises to increase resilience through:
– learning mindful breathing,
– creating a Resilience Portfolio (recognizing one’s own resources and strengths),
– analyzing and transforming habitual ways of thinking and reacting in difficult situations using the I-S-K-R-A model.
Training workshops are preparing teachers to implement activities with students.
