In this 3-day course we use Mindfulness as a technique for improving student focus, emotional regulation and stress reduction. On day 1 we start from an introduction to Mindfulness and focus on Mindfulness practices for teachers. During day 2 of the training we will focus on the well-being of our students and look at how we can implement Mindfulness into our curriculum. Day 3 focuses on Mindfulness in the digital age. During these 3 days you will work on a small project in which you as a teacher will design your mindfulness activities for your lessons and explain how/why and when you will use them. No experience in Mindfulness is required for this course as we start from the basics.
