Vlieg erin!

Take your students on the roller coaster of life and strengthen their resilience and talents!

"Vlieg erin!" wants to improve the well-being of students. And not without reason. Well-being ensures that children grow into people who feel good about themselves and are mentally healthier.

Well-being educational package

"Vlieg erin!" is inspired by positive psychology . The package provides concrete teaching materials to strengthen the social-emotional development of students and to stimulate a positive classroom climate. The teacher follows a course through an amusement park with the class. Along four rollercoasters, students receive building blocks for more self-insight, resilience and well-being.

"Fly in!" is the result of a collaboration between CM, educationalist Luk Dewulf ( Kessels & Smit ), teacher Koen Crul (teacher training VIVES ), VIGeZ and VCOV .
