Building Inclusive, Trauma-Informed Learning Environments
The HEAL project aims to support higher education professionals in creating trauma-informed learning environments that foster inclusion, empathy, and academic success for all students. By raising awareness of trauma-sensitive teaching and providing practical tools, HEAL contributes to making universities more supportive and equitable spaces for learning.Over the past two years, the HEAL partnership has united institutions from across Europe to jointly develop educational materials, practical tools, and evidence-based guidelines that help university teachers and other higher education professionals apply trauma-informed approaches in their daily work.
The project has been coordinated by the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest (Romania), with the following partners:
University of Novo mesto, Faculty of Health Sciences (Slovenia)
Trinity College Dublin (Ireland)
The University of Ioannina (Greece)
EQUALINE (Greece)
Association for Social Economy and Lifelong Learning (Romania)
