Methodology
An experiential, practical course with daily mindfulness practice — supportive, reflective and small-group, so you leave with techniques you have actually used, not just read about.
You'll work in small international groups of education staff from across Europe, sharing approaches across subjects and systems. Trainers are experienced practitioners who model the techniques you'll use, and afternoons extend the learning through Dublin's cultural programme.

- Use practical mindfulness techniques for yourself
- Support your own resilience and self-care
- Bring age-appropriate mindfulness into class
- Help students with emotional regulation
