What You Can Get Out of the Conference
Stay abreast of the latest educational technologies and psychological theories applicable to education, to remain competitive and effective in your teaching practices.
The AI in Education Conference provides a series of keynotes and panel discussions alongside interactive workshops to explore AI's potential in education. Participants will be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to navigate the AI landscape and integrate AI tools into their teaching practice.
At the same time, sessions on the integration of positive psychology into curriculum design, as well as the practice of appreciative inquiry, enable teachers to hear from practitioners on how to create an environment that focuses on humanising the learning experience and developing the whole child. The outcomes will be schools that are able to develop empathetic, creative and collaborative students who are and able to face the future with confidence and resolve.
The workshop unfolds along a sequence of expert-guided mindfulness practices that enable participants to develop crucial well-being skills. These include the ability to find calm in our busy lives, become more self-aware, regulate attention and emotions more skilfully, and to have healthy relationships.
Throughout the day, practical tools are shared to integrate mindfulness into everyday life, empowering attendees to manage stress, make better decisions, and enhance wellbeing. Participants are invited to share their experiences and insights and there will be ample opportunities for questions.
The workshop is also open for graduates of our mindfulness-based courses who would like to refresh and deepen their practice, or simply to enjoy a one-day retreat from your busy life!
