With so much in the press about mindfulness, MiSP invites you to a conference to find out what mindfulness really is and how it can support your pupils’ and teachers’ wellbeing.
This conference will offer you practical steps on how to embed mindfulness in your school. You will also have access to researchers, teachers and pupils successfully working with mindfulness.
Speakers include:

Prof Katherine Weare hosts the day and sets mindfulness in the context of Social and Emotional Learning in education more broadly.
Richard Burnett, Co-founder and Director of MiSP, explains how to embed mindfulness in your school, emphasising integrity and teacher training.
