Master Speaker Series: 21st Century Life Skills

6 October 2016 | 6 pm | Room 001/002

Amy Burke and Kevin Hawkins (MindWell Education)

'We live in an age where busy-ness and being switched on 24/7 are the norm but also in an age where depression is set to become the most common disease worldwide and where concerns about the mental health of young people are endemic,' says Amy Burke,  one of the founders of educational consultants Mindwell.

Kevin Hawkins adds 'In order to be successful and resilient in this age of distraction, we need to cultivate attention, self-awareness and emotional regulation.

'Understanding how our mind, body and emotions work is crucial to helping develop a more mindful culture – one that engages the heart as well as the head, in a holistic approach to wellbeing in teaching and learning.

We are delighted to welcome Amy and Kevin to Prague College for the first of the Master Speaker talks at 6pm on Thursday 6 October.
