What is Best Practice?
A Best Practice, or Good Practice, refers to a completed project that has positively impacted its participants and achieved a beneficial social outcome. Such a project should be well-documented and shareable, allowing for reflection on the methods used. It should also demonstrate the flexibility and innovation of the Method in relation to the target audience and the context in which it was implemented.
How to Identify Your Best Practice
Have you, over the years, developed a special project aimed at one or more people, characterized by a distinctive and clear theme, which has played an important role in your development as a Feldenkrais Teacher? A project that has given you the opportunity to highlight the value of the Method and your professionalism?
Well, that is exactly what we are looking for!
Why share your Best Practice with Feldenkrais4Life
This is an opportunity to present our work as a source of mutual inspiration and to facilitate fruitful exchanges among colleagues. It also allows us to showcase ourselves to Europe, its institutions, and all those with whom we might work (new students, colleagues, professionals in related fields, clients) both nationally and internationally.
The Best Practices submitted will be evaluated and selected against certain priority criteria for the project:
Significance with respect to the application of the Method in specific contexts, particularly in Health, Chronic Pain, Education and Training, Performing Arts, and Sport. Other contexts will be welcome, provided they are clearly identified and described
Completeness and clarity of presentation with respect to the objectives, the method, the process followed, and the results obtained
Representativeness of the professional skills of the Feldenkrais Teacher, such as the ability to conceive, catalyze, and develop projects of social, educational, health, or scientific research interest.
Availability and/or access to dissemination resources, such as presentations, video clips, online sites, etc., attesting to the value of the experience.
The selected projects will have international visibility and will enrich the online platform with resources, dissemination activities, and guidance on the Method and the Profession, demonstrating the variety and versatility of possible applications of our work, as well as the wealth of proposals existing in Europe.
What happens after submission
If selected, you will be contacted to assess what and how to publish your proposed experience using the project’s online space. Feldenkrais4Life will, in any case, try to make the most of every submission received at the various dissemination events it will organise during its two-year life span.
What to share
The online form allows you to present your experience and provide the information the project will use to evaluate the most suitable proposals for publication on the Feldenkrais4Life platform. You can attach a PDF document (max 5 MB) and include useful links.
When to share
The project will continue to collect Best Practices throughout its duration till January 2026. However, the sooner you share your experience, the more opportunities for discussion and reflection will arise from it.
