OUR STORY Why a project about sleep?
Because sleep is where learning is quietly won or lost. A sleep-deprived adult learner is not lazy or disengaged — they are cognitively under-resourced. Memory won’t consolidate, attention frays, emotions run hot. Educators witness this every day but are rarely equipped to name it, let alone act on it.
“Sleep is the most underestimated lever in adult learning. SereniSleep exists to put it back in the educator’s hands.”
SereniSleep — Unlocking Deep Rest for a Healthier Tomorrow — is a small-scale Erasmus+ partnership (KA210-ADU, 2025–2026) that turns the science of sleep into practical, inclusive, classroom-ready pedagogy for adult educators across Europe.
OUR MISSION What we set out to do
Equip adult educators to recognise sleep deprivation as a learning barrier and respond within their professional boundaries.
Co-create an evidence-based, multilingual training programme rooted in real research from Spain, Bulgaria and Serbia.
Centre the learners with the fewest options — migrants, shift workers, caregivers and socio-economically disadvantaged adults.
Leave behind open, free, reusable resources that outlive the project through EPALE and the Erasmus+ Project Results Platform.
Leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of tomorrow.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Our values
- Evidence over assumption. We build from data we gathered ourselves, not stock wellness advice.
- Inclusion by design. If a strategy doesn’t work for a night-shift caregiver or a recently-arrived migrant, it isn’t finished.
- Educators, empowered. We stay firmly on the pedagogy side of the line — supporting learners without medicalising them.
- Open and lasting. Everything we create is free, openly licensed and designed to be adapted and reused.
