We learned how physical movement can reset our nervous systems after demanding school weeks. To top it off, our evening walking tour through Split's historic center reminded us that learning is always best when it's experiential.

We wrapped up our training week with an exciting digital scavenger hunt around Split. Running around with our phones to solve challenges showed us firsthand how gamification and technology can foster genuine teamwork, communication, and creativity. Receiving our certificates at the end felt incredibly rewarding, and we are returning to school energized with fresh strategies to support both our students and our own well-being.
