¡Bienvenido a Mindful Horizons: colaboración curricular intercultural!

Mindful Horizons es un proyecto Erasmus+ KA220-SCH (2024-2026) que tiene como objetivo integrar prácticas de mindfulness en los planes de estudio escolares, fomentando la inteligencia emocional, el bienestar y la colaboración intercultural entre estudiantes y educadores. Nuestro proyecto, coordinado por la Dirección de Educación Nacional del Distrito de Mudanya, reúne a socios de Turquía, España, Suecia, Chequia, Alemania y Estonia para crear un entorno de aprendizaje holístico e inclusivo.

Nuestros objetivos incluyen:

  • Dotar a los docentes de conocimientos y herramientas para incorporar la atención plena en las lecciones diarias.

  • Desarrollar un plan de estudios de Mindfulness estructurado con 50 planes de lecciones,

  • Creación de una aplicación gratuita de mindfulness digital,

  • Establecer un programa de entrenamiento en atención plena para educadores,

  • Apoyar a los estudiantes, incluidos aquellos con necesidades especiales, a través de técnicas de atención plena personalizadas,

  • Fortalecer la cooperación internacional y el intercambio cultural entre instituciones asociadas.

Con un fuerte énfasis en la digitalización, la inclusión y la innovación, Mindful Horizons busca crear beneficios a largo plazo para escuelas, estudiantes y familias. A través de prácticas de mindfulness basadas en la investigación, nuestro objetivo es mejorar el bienestar mental, reducir el estrés y promover un entorno educativo propicio en toda Europa.

¡Únase a nosotros en este viaje transformador hacia una educación más consciente e inclusiva!

Nuestra historia

Mindful Horizons nació de una visión compartida entre educadores de toda Europa que reconocieron la creciente necesidad de la atención plena en la educación. Tras el éxito de nuestro proyecto anterior Erasmus+ KA227 STOP, que introdujo técnicas de atención plena en las escuelas, vimos el potencial de llevar esta iniciativa más allá. Nuestro viaje se convirtió en un esfuerzo colaborativo para crear un plan de estudios de atención plena estructurado, que combina prácticas científicas de atención plena con estrategias de enseñanza innovadoras.

Junto con socios de Turquía, España, Suecia, Chequia, Alemania y Estonia, nos embarcamos en una misión para empoderar a los educadores, apoyar a los estudiantes (incluidos aquellos con necesidades especiales) y superar las diferencias culturales a través de la atención plena. Al integrar la atención plena en las lecciones diarias, desarrollar una aplicación digital gratuita y ofrecer programas de capacitación para maestros, nuestro objetivo es crear un cambio duradero en la forma en que las escuelas abordan el bienestar emocional y el aprendizaje holístico. Mindful Horizons no es solo un proyecto; es un movimiento hacia un futuro educativo más consciente, inclusivo y conectado.

The activities carried out within Mindful Horizons extended beyond the main project actions and reached a wider community of students, teachers, families and educational stakeholders. A range of additional trainings, seminars, workshops and dissemination activities were organised for this purpose.

The eTwinning activities implemented throughout the project enabled teachers and students from different countries to come together online and develop collaborative work on mindfulness, well-being, inclusion, emotional literacy and cross-cultural learning. In this way, the project results reached more classrooms and students.

Mindfulness activities and awareness sessions were also organised for students in different schools. Practices carried out in special education centres and special education classrooms helped bring the project’s inclusive approach to learners with different needs. During mobility weeks, trainings and workshops held in schools and institutions allowed project methods to be shared directly with teachers and students.

Collaboration with different organisations also significantly increased the project’s impact. Additional trainings and seminars were delivered to teachers in cooperation with organisations working in education, such as the Teacher Academy Foundation. These activities covered stress management, emotional literacy, well-being, mindful communication, breathing techniques and the integration of mindfulness into everyday teaching.

Seminars and activities were also organised for teachers, students, parents and the wider public, including breathing practices, mindful minutes, well-being sessions, emotional literacy, arts-based awareness activities and P4C. Through school-based activities, online trainings, mobility-week sessions, institutional cooperation and public events, the participation targets were successfully achieved.

 

As a result, the knowledge, methods and materials developed through Mindful Horizons reached far beyond the project partnership. They were shared with schools, special education institutions, teacher communities, students, families and educational organisations, strengthening the project’s visibility, accessibility and long-term impact.
