Sowmya, your idea of putting together a curriculum that promotes self-awareness and greater responsibility towards the environment sounds feasible.However, I was wondering what you meant by "mindful" practices in the 21st century?Is it to do with self awareness,being more socially responsible or being able to deal with the challenges that the century will unfold(global warming, pollution etc.) ?This is because these global challenges require lifestyle changes that go beyond a life skills curriculum.
While I am writing to you I am trying to think aloud as well so I have more clarity.

Hi Achira
ReplyDeleteI was thinking how we could build in life skills into this curriculum. Are there exercises that we can adopt within the classroom to make us more empathetic and such practices could be built in to the teaching of each subject.
Just thinking aloud and looking at ways of bringing in awareness of our actions as that is what impacts our world
Yes Sowmya, we can bring in life skills that deal with respect towards themselves, others and in the broader scope, towards the environment
