A methodological framework forms the starting point for all further project activities. RESET Methodology is based on research on resilience and its importance for basic education, the effects of trauma, violence, and discrimination on learning processes, as well as a survey among basic education trainers on their perceptions regarding their professional challenges and strategies. It provides information on how to foster wellbeing among learners and suggests various self-care exercises for trainers
A curriculum, building on the methodology of storytelling, and a toolbox, containing games and exercises to promote resilience that are linked to:
- key competence(s) of basic education, including reading & writing, arithmetic digital, and civic competences, as well as communication language skills amongst others.
- resilience areas such as the regulation of emotions, affects and feelings, self-assessment, stress management, social skills and relationships, development of creativity etc.

This toolbox is a collection of 80 resilience-fostering exercises and games for basic education learners, with three degrees of difficulty based on language level (A0-B1).

You can choose them according to one or more filters: resilience areas, basic education competence and language level.
