Education, mindfulness and the Middle Way – Katherine Weare

Prof. Katherine Weare explores some key learning about cultivating mindfulness in education, including the messy challenges and joys helping ‘fix it’ educators begin with themselves, and to see the links between inner work and the system change they rightly demand. Prof. Katherine Weare is internationally known for her varied work on mindfulness and contemplative approaches in education, including recently heading up two policy major networks, keeping a handle on the empirical evidence base, writing an inspirational book with Thich Nhat Hanh and teaching mindfulness to local secondary school teachers.

This talk took place over Zoom at the Virtual Festival of the Middle Way on 19th April 2020, and is followed by questions from the audience.
