peace starter kit for the classroom (EN)

You want to nurture a healthy classroom or group’s climate for better learning? You also know how difficult it is and how much time is lost because students arrive still carrying stress or emotions, from the argument at lunch, the anxiety about next period or other life interactions.

This pack does not ask you to become a mindfulness teacher. It gives you 6 short, evidence-based practices from the P.E.A.C.E.® programme that you can use this week, in your classroom or with groups of children and teenagers.

No prior training required. Everything is scripted. You just read it aloud — and do it with them.

The P.E.A.C.E.® programme

P.E.A.C.E.® has been delivered to over 85,000 students in 900+ schools across France, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada and the UK over the past decade. It is now being piloted in UK secondary schools in research collaboration with Brunel University London (LENA Lab). These 6 practices are drawn directly from the P.E.A.C.E.® Instructor Manual and Meditations Handbook. Supported by patrons including Matthieu Ricard, Dr Christophe André, and Dr Ilios Kotsou.
