Welcome

[Marc Meyer]

Dear All,

I would like to welcome you to The Hawn Foundation's email forum for
MindUP Educators. We hope you will contribute to the discussions that
take place at this location. Please feel free to comment on previous
postings, add new topics for discussion, and ask questions about
mindful education, the MindUP program, and a myriad of other relevant
concerns.

Goldie Hawn, founder of THF, has written, “We need to rethink our
approach to classroom education, integrating neuroscience with the
latest social and emotional learning techniques. A peaceful, happy
child is the first step toward a peaceful world.” She is not alone in
ascribing to this worthwhile goal.

We welcome you to join in this important work to help the growth of
mindful children and young people, foster optimistic classrooms and
schools, and sustain a viable, positive environment for communities in
which we live.
