Academic teachers

The first and most important are academics who, due to the nature of their work, are exposed to professional burnout, and who, due to university conditions, cannot count on supportive activities from universities. Professional burnout mainly affects people with extensive professional experience - usually 50+, most often women (they are much less likely to be promoted, they feel unfulfilled, they often don't perform the required rigorous work, which ultimately leads to a change of position for a worse one). The research also indicates a group of the youngest people who are just starting work, but according to experts, this is not a case of burnout, but rather a disillusionment with ideas about a quick and impressive career. Experiences from previous projects have shown that for academics the subject of burnout is taboo, about which very little is said or not at all. This is mainly due to the requirements of this profession. You have to be tough and not show weakness, and burnout in this environment is treated as a sign of weakness. We plan to prepare a set of activities allowing for effective prevention of burnout. Through the use of elements of a stoic way of life and the skilful use of available opportunities to build resilience and mindfulness motivate them to self-development and to look for an effective, individual way of support.
