Challenge
Across Europe, schools face growing challenges in supporting student’s well-being, with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression affecting around 20% of learners (OECD PISA). At the same time socio-economic inequalities, the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and exclusionary practices have further exposed the limitations of traditional education systems. Although there is increasing evidence that emotionally supportive, inclusive environments boost both well-being and academic success, many countries still struggle to apply these approaches in practice.
Innovation
OPE helps schools create a learning environment that supports both academic success and student well-being. It offers tools and training to teachers, school leaders, and psychologists to build students’ confidence, engagement, and emotional health. By updating teaching methods and promoting supportive policies, OPE strengthens educational communities across Europe.
