Description
This course has been designed for teachers looking for a holistic perspective on education and a space for experience, inspiration, exchange, and connection. Teachers play a crucial role in helping students discover their identities and find meaning in the world around them. Through a variety of strategies encompassing mindfulness, emotional awareness, self-expression, mind and body, etc. participants will learn how to address the emotional, social, and ethical needs of students, going beyond academic-focused goals. A positive school climate is home to respectful relationships and a safe and supportive learning environment. The Council of Europe describes well-being as the ‘experience of health and happiness’, including mental and physical health, emotional safety, a feeling of belonging, and sense of purpose, achievement, and success. Making your classroom mindful leads to reflection, compassion, empathy, and attentive awareness. Exposing yourself and your students to a selection of tools (Relaxation, Visualisation, Artistic expression, Grounding techniques, etc.) and connecting to the different dimensions of well-being fosters a more respectful and safe learning environment.
