Mindfulness in Schools Project works with teachers and adults from a wide variety of educational settings and our curricula are taught to a very broad range of children and young people. We want our work to be inclusive, relevant, and accessible to all schools. Our Inclusion and Support Groups aim to encourage dialogue to provide support to our communities and to facilitate mutual learning and development.
MiSP Inclusion and Support Groups have four objectives:
To provide a safe and supportive space for members to share challenges, experiences, and learning around mindfulness in schools.
To encourage representation of a broad range of school experiences, to raise awareness of relevant issues and to facilitate engagement with all school communities.
To identify barriers to inclusion and to constructively challenge existing structures around mindfulness in schools to influence and impact MiSP operations so that they are more inclusive and supportive.
To inspire participation, to enable MiSP to connect with more schools and to promote inclusion of all school communities in mindfulness in schools.
