The aim of the group is to create a place for a beneficent experiencing managing learning process skills such as: levels of self-adjusting, dealing with frustrating, forces management, prioritization, organizing and control, raising inner motivation, self-dialogue which promotes success and so on. The meetings enable learning by focusing on student strength, in which they enjoy breathing within their regular school routine. Through mediation, students are able to experience, understand and identify the forces they can find inside themselves to better manage themselves, in a more adjustable learning space. The work is based on social games and activities, which become psycho-pedagogical tools in forming a better learning space. As part of the group working process, students enjoy a great sense of belonging which could turn into a source of support, empowering and excellent development. The Lecture headlines: 1.
