Mindfulness, the technique of meditation that helps the concentration of attention and awareness, reaches the classes of the schools of the municipality through a cycle of workshops that has launched the Department of Education, aimed at students of 6th of Primary Education.
The workshops, which began successfully last Monday at the CEIP "El Recuerdo" and will be repeated every Monday in the rest of the centers, are taught by a psychologist who shows how to create a Space of Silence in the center, where to promote the practice of meditation and mindfulness on a day-to-day basis.
Once created by the promoters of the workshop, the Space of Silence will be self-managed by the educational community of each center whose interested members will receive a small introductory course.
Recent studies have highlighted the usefulness of Mindulfness among the youngest to improve concentration, the regulation of emotions, compassion and kindness as well as prosocial skills such as empathy, patience or joy.
In the day to day of the center the Spaces of Silence can serve as relaxation and preparation before the exams, as transversal training in the tutorials or even to replace punishments or parts, for meditation time and volunteering.
The workshops are scheduled to arrive on the next Monday until June 18 to a total of nine schools in the municipality.
