In this interactive session, you’ll be guided through a variety of mindfulness exercises, usinghighlights from feature and youth-made films.
You’ll try out practical, film-focused activities that explore key mindfulness practices – from grounding techniques to emotional awareness exercises.You’ll also learn how these, in turn, can help young people to better understand the connection between their feelings, thoughts and actions.
By the end of the session, you will feel more confident in using film to support young people approaching challenging circumstances, such as exams and transition.You’ll also have all the resources you need for facilitating the activities with your learners.
The session is a part of Into Film's Wellbeing training, which also includes Mindfulness Through Film and Staying Safe Online. In this suite of sessions, we explore how film can bea powerful tool for developing empathy, exploring impact through ‘what ifs' and discussing difficult issues faced by the character, all at a level removed from issues that a young person may be facing themselves.
This session is for educators of 5–18-year-olds.If you are having trouble accessing this session or if you have any additional accessibility requirements, please contact onlinehelp@intofilm.org
