Inclusion & Diversity in the Classroom – Teaching Empathy, Mindfulness & Critical Thinking – Split, Croatia
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Teaching Empathy, Mindfulness & Critical Thinking
This course promotes intercultural education by modelling empathy in a mindful classroom. We will look into the thought process and seek gratitude in living in the present. The concept of ‘reaction vs response’ will be presented to promote a friendlier working environment and reduce bullying. Open-mindnedness will be mirrored in our study of critical thinking and the need for better conversation.
The course also looks at soft skills development in the classroom. Reinforcing collaboration and teamwork is the cornerstone of promoting true inclusion and recognizing integration of versatility & special needs. By promoting and celebrating cultural diversity in our schools, we make an important step towards bringing social change. The course will be discussing challenges, best practices as well as promoting mindful values toward proper inclusion.
Our resident psychologist and Mindfulness instructor, Dario Caljkusic, holds an Honors degree from Lewis & Clark College, in Portland, Ore, USA. His course is both engaging and thought-provoking, entertaining yet introspective. As our former course participants Jane, Mette, Ditte & Lise-Lotte from Denmark wrote about Dario: “Thank you so much for the most exciting course. You have been fantastic, motivating teacher.”
