The project PAS

The project PAS, Pedagogy with Awareness and Self-Compassion, is aimed at all parties working in the educational sector. It accompanies school teams of all school forms as well as individuals working in educational and caretaker fields – teachers, kindergarteners, leisure pedagogues, social workers – through the three phases of PAS that intend to lead them to an increasingly mindful, compassionate and creative school culture. It is intended as a long-term program for schools and caretaker facilities and aims at unfolding the transformative potential inherent in mindfulness and self-compassion training, both on the personal and the systemic level.

The conceptualization as well as the implementation process are not only evidence-based, but also innovative and creativity-based. Quality is assured not only through a well-established connection and collaboration with internationally renowned projects but also through a constant demand for experience-based, didactic imparting of the workshop contents.

Pedagogues get the opportunity to engage in their own mindfulness and self-compassion practice and to rediscover inner resources in order to be able to maintain a mindful and self-compassionate attitude when challenges arise in their day-to-day field of work. The personal and embodied experience of mindfulness creates the basis for an authentic and creative way of teaching mindfulness. Mindful and self-compassionate teachers and caregivers can support and accompany children and adolescents in their personal development and help them to develop a more compassionate attitude towards others. They can support them in displaying their creativity and treat themselves, others, and the planet in a kind and respectful way.
