Leadership Vision
A leader is somebody who has a vision and inspires others. A leader embodies their values, is focused and determined, able to use power with kindness, compassion and wisdom.
Project Description
The “Exploring Interdependence” project aims to create a culture of inclusion, mutual dialogue and support, empowering immigrant families and valuing their contribution to the community. Primary and secondary schools in Northampton (UK) with a high percentage of immigrant students will be offered mindfulness classes for students and teachers, as well as MBSR courses for family members, thus promoting inclusiveness, non-judgment and compassion. After establishing a personal mindfulness practice, each participant will be asked to take care of another person, in order to create a support system within the community, where everybody helps and is helped, regardless of their background.
