Meditation and Mindfulness in the Classroom
Future Learning set-out from our second year of operation to share the innovative practice that we are developing with teachers throughout Europe and from all around the world. The teacher training programmes eligible for Erasmus+ funding are based on our experience and share the solutions that we have come up with to make our project- based approach work in practice.
Description
