Mind & Life Summer Research Institute
This June, our Research and Evaluation Manager, Joana Chan participated in Mind & Life Institute's 2025 Conference: “Reimagining Contemplative Education: Shaping a Collective Future.”
The conference brought together researchers, educators, contemplative practitioners, and policymakers from over 20 different countries committed to exploring how contemplative practice and science can enrich and reimagine educational systems in the 21st century.

The week was a mixture of contemplative practice and sharing on the science and practice of contemplative education. Joana presented an academic poster about our work and spoke with many researchers and educators who were interested in Peace in Schools’ work and trainings.

The Summer Research Institute offered a precious opportunity to connect and learn with many inspiring leaders and colleagues in the field, including Meena Srinivasan of Transformational Educational Leadership, Robert Roeser of Penn State University, and Ben Painter of Whole School Mindfulness.
