"The experience that diversified my course as a student of AUEB was undoubtedly my participation in the Teacher Education Program. During the Program, I was given the opportunity to equip myself with all the necessary knowledge and values that Modern Pedagogy embodies. Through the experiential approach of the structure and character of the Program, I have been trained to manage or become a competent and valuable member of a team, to express, communicate and integrate my ideas with honesty and respect to diversity, to face challenges, to operate under pressure. Of course, within this environment of love and mutual respect, I had the honor to create true friendships that will accompany me throughout my professional and personal life."

"Having studied in many international environments, I have inevitably entered the process of comparing the quality of studies I have received from the various institutions and the various programs, in which I have studied. So I can safely say that the Athens University of Economics and Business through the Teacher Education Program offers rare and unique competitive advantages both to its students during their studies and to their graduates after completing their studies. Besides the innovative experiential approach to teacher education, the international collaborations with top international universities, the training in the world's most innovative teaching methods found in this Program, the Program, above all, cultivates values that are indispensable for teachers that incarnate these values in the eyes of their students. Values such as consistency in words and deeds, sincere kindness, openness, acceptance of the "different" and sincerity. Values that are practiced in this Program and are a tangible example to all students and graduates. I could say a lot more about the Program, but I will only limit myself to this: It is a unique life experience and those who have the opportunity to experience it are very lucky!"

"I feel very lucky to have completed the Teacher Education Program of AUEB. My gratitude to all the Professors of the Program is immeasurable, the stimuli I received were countless and my memories were deep and meaningful. I cherished every moment, despite the ever increasing difficulty of the activities. At every step and challenge of the way, I was letting go and concentrating on trying to win another bet against myself. I have identified and extended my personal limits. I faced my fears and defeated them. I developed social skills, my emotional intelligence, my self-discipline, and I saw in practice how fulfilled I feel when I'm in a school environment, close to children and adolescents. Through my experience, I hope to encourage other people to make the brave decision to become an improved version of themselves within a few months, acquiring, at the same time, a professional asset."

"This Program leads you to get to know yourself better and your personal limits. Once you are on board, at some point you will realize that you are out of your comfort zone and you have crossed your personal limits. Then, inevitably, you feel strong. After obtaining two University Degrees, this program is, for me, the sweetest, the most important and the most meaningful experience of my student years. This Program is filled with love and positive emotions. Besides, Education is all about Love. Last April, when, I was asked by the Secretariat of Secondary Education in Larissa if I have an annual Certificate of Pedagogical and Didactic Competence, I was very happy to have presented them with the Certificate of this specific Program and very proud of the effort I had made, when I saw my name ascending on the list of thousands of candidate professors..."

"The Teacher Education Program of AUEB was the best choice I could make. It is a properly structured program through which I had the opportunity to get trained on the Pedagogical Science and Pedagogical Thinking. At the same time, I learned in depth the essential role of the educator inside and outside the classroom, always focusing on the student. In addition, the program changed me radically as a person. I received many stimuli through the experiential activities and the teaching approach followed by the teachers of the program. What I am constantly pointing out is that the program has greatly contributed to strengthening my self-confidence and my self-esteem through the activities and the projects which I have always sought to play an active role in. My leadership skills and my communication skills have been developed through my participation in different teams. At the same time, the program played a decisive role in my subsequent professional career, as I realized that what I want to do will be focused on people and on offering to the community. I am very grateful that I have lived this unique experience. "

Simultaneously, emotional world is considered as a serious matter, contributing to the attendees’ emotional maturity and the cultivation of their empathy.

Apart from all the others, this program not only led to my knowledge development, but also cultivated my emotional world. The experiential actions, in which I participated, gave me the chance to approximate and understand better the biggest unknown, myself. Meanwhile, experiential learning contributed to the cultivation of basic values such as respect, cooperation and honesty.

Athens University of Economics and Business Teacher Education Program was a life-changing experience for me. I faced many challenges and worked on projects with different people, often reaching beyond my limits. The program gave me many opportunities. I studied other sciences like Pedagogy, Psychology, and even Technology! Of course, it is very demanding and needs dedication, so one should have a great love for teaching. Despite the challenges, it was an unforgettable experience that was a milestone in my student years. If someone wants to be a teacher, it is a great opportunity offered by the University to experience innovative and alternative ways of teaching that aim at better learning and student interest.

When I first started the Teacher Education Program, I had not thought about the abundance and variety of experiences it can offer to a potential teacher. Personally, the Program has contributed to both my cognitive and emotional development. Through this, I gained a wealth of knowledge and received stimuli, which has helped me enhance my creativity and pedagogical perception. A key point of the Program is the Practical Training, which gives the opportunity of an experiential perception of teaching and the science of Pedagogy. Finally, and most important, is that the Program develops a pleasant atmosphere both between fellow students and between trainers and teachers. Overall, the Program was one of the best experiences I had during my studies.
