WELLBEING IN SCHOOLS AND PRESCHOOLS
Why develop mindfulness at school?
Teachers are key to our children's wellbeing and academic success. Our mission is to support teachers in their demanding profession and help them in their personal and professional growth. We encourage and help them take care of their own health and wellbeing, in the prevention of burnout and in the further education in the field of wellbeing and building
physical and mental capacities,
so that they can best support the children and youth in their class and live a happy personal life.
Mindfulness practice can be beneficial for children of all ages and at every stage of development. According to relevant research, mindfulness improves children's social and communication skills, strengthens self-control and self-regulation, reduces anxiety and stress, reduces risky behavior, improves concentration and increases overall mental resilience.
All methodologies in our courses are based on scientifically based data and studies and are delivered by our expertly trained team. We facilitate programs in Czech and English.

ONLINE COURSE: MBSR FOR TEACHERS
- reducing stress through mindfulness
FOR TEACHERS AND THE WIDER TEAM OF THE SCHOOL
25 hours spread over 8 weekly sessions. Includes 5 hours practice session between the 6th and 7th session.
The eight-week MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) training is the best known, most widely used and scientifically researched program for developing life satisfaction, inner peace and balance through mindfulness. It provides a solid foundation for further self-development and application of mindfulness in educational practice. THE TEACHERS WILL LEARN: - Respond consciously in challenging situations instead of automatic, stereotypical ways of communication - Recover more quickly from emotionally challenging and stressful situations that teaching practice inevitably brings - Perceive the joy of being in the present and enjoy life in all its breadth and richness - To be the "author of one's life" and to motivate oneself in a healthy way - To enjoy human interconnection and the sence of belonging in relationships with others Only through a long-term regular comprehensive mindfulness practice real changes can be achieved in the neural connections in the brain and thus in overall feeling, experiencing and behaviour. From the perspective of social and interpersonal neurobiology, adult emotional attunement is one of the building blocks for children's brain development and ability to learn in a safe and emotionally regulated environment.

Practicing mindfulness with children is related to the understanding of the concept by adults who work with them. Ideally, teachers will first develop their own mindfulness practice (e.g., in the 8-week MBSR course) and then can experiment with passing on mindfulness to children in the classroom. WHAT WILL THE TEACHERS LEARN: The three-session course is a practical demonstration of how a mindful teacher can work with mindfulness in the classroom to build the foundational skills of self-awareness to further develop children's social and emotional competence. WHAT WILL THE CHILDREN LEARN: Through hands-on playful activities selected in proportion to their age, children will learn/refine: • Vocabulary related to body, brain, attention, breath and emotions • Try activities for self-awareness and self-regulation • Explore what it means to relax, be kind to self, others and the planet
