Mindfulness and Inclusion in Working with Students

During the workshop, participants will be introduced to the basics of mindfulness, understood as the practice of present-moment awareness—noticing thoughts, emotions, and reactions without judgement. Framed within diversity and inclusion, the session will highlight how mindfulness supports culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and accessible practice: helping teachers and facilitators recognise their own biases, attune to learners’ varied backgrounds and needs, build empathetic relationships, and create classroom climates that foster collaboration, psychological safety, and a genuine sense of belonging for all.
