10月のWisdom2.0Japanのオープンイベントとして、8月は親子や教育者に向けてマインドフルネスやEQの実践教育の大切さを伝えている戸塚真理奈さんをお迎えし、親や教育者自身が楽しく実践できるマインドフルネスに触れる場をお届けします。

日本でもマインドフルネスは着実に広がってきており、とりわけビジネスシーンにおいて、業務の効率化や生産性、創造性や発想力、チームビルディングの面で効果があらわれてきています。

しかし、そのようにマインドフルネスの恩恵を感じているビジネスパーソンからもよく挙がるのが、身近な存在である家族、つまりパートナーシップや親子関係でも取り入れたいけれど、どこからスタートしたら良いのかわからない、またこのコロナ禍において家族が在宅で一緒にいる時間が長くなり、つい皆がピリピリしてしまい、家が居心地良い場となりにくい時があるという声です。

子どものいる生活空間で、どうしたら子どもを含め、家族が安心や幸せを培えるのでしょうか。

子供たちや、親子に向けて幅広くトレーニングや学びの場を届けている戸塚真理奈氏によると、一緒にいる大人のBeingが子供にとても影響するとのことですが、それは、がんばって子供たちの手本となることではないとのこと。同じことは、親だけではなく、教師など子供の支援をしている大人たちにもいえるそうです。

学校教育においても、文部科学省より「変化の激しいこれからの社会を生きる力」を育むという新しい学習指導要領が定められましたが、どのように導入したらよいのか戸惑われている先生方の声も多く聞きます。

子供たちの生きる力を育むために、大人がどのようなBeingで関係性を育めるといいのでしょうか。そのあたりを、小学生の女の子のパパである荻野淳也との対談を通じて掘り下げていきます。ぜひお聞き逃しなく！

世界ではマインドフルネスはあらゆる世代に浸透しつつあり、特に若い世代へのシェアリングは日本よりずっと進んでいます。そこで戸塚真理奈氏から、世界のデータやトレンドを紹介してもらいながら、仕事の効率や生産性、教育での成績向上というだけではないマインドフルネスの効用を解説していただきます。

また、7月に発売されたご著書、「学校と家庭でマインドフルネス！1分からこころの幸せ・安心を育む63のワーク」より、親子で楽しく実践できるワークもご紹介いただく予定です。ワークもぜひご一緒に体験してみましょう！

**************************

This month, Wisdom2.0Japan is inviting Ms. Marina Totsuka, a mindfulness teacher who has been actively educating families and teachers on the importance of mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to conduct a session for parents and teachers about fun mindfulness exercises that they can apply to their work and life.

In Japan, mindfulness has been steadily spreading, especially in the business arena, where it is known to enhance work efficiency, productivity, creativity and team building.

However, people in the business world who have experienced the benefits of mindfulness often voice out their concern of not knowing where to begin when wanting to apply it to their relationship with their family. Many have also expressed that their life at home has become more difficult due to the recent covid-19 pandemic, which has forced people to stay at home with their family, and can at times create friction due to increased stress.

In a space where children are present, how can we nurture a sense of security and happiness for the whole family?

According to Ms. Totsuka, an expert who has been offering a wide range of trainings and learning opportunities to children and families, the state of being of adults can greatly influence the wellbeing of their children. However, that does not mean that adults should try hard to become so called “role models”. The same applies to teachers and those who are supporting children in various ways.

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has established new guidelines on how schools should cultivate skills and competency in children that would enable them to survive in an ever-changing society. At the same time, many teachers have voiced their confusion as to how they will meet such a requirement.

So how should adult think, act or demonstrate in their relationship with their children in order to foster in them a zest for living? Ms. Totsuka will have a dialogue focusing on this theme with Junya Ogino, Founder of Wisdom2.0Japan, who is also a father (whose daughter is currently in an elementary school) .

Please join us in this precious event.

Mindfulness has become impregnated throughout the rest of the world and Japan seems to lag behind in its education of mindfulness to younger generations. Ms. Totsuka will share some data and trend from around the world and discuss the benefits of mindfulness that are not confined to just work efficiency, productivity and better academic achievements.

She will also select some exercises that can be enjoyed by both parents and children featured in her book 「学校と家庭でマインドフルネス！1分からこころの幸せ・安心を育む63のワーク(Mindfulness at Home and in Classrooms to Develop Emotional Intelligence in Children: 63 Exercises for Wellbeing and Anxiety Relief Starting from just One Minute)」which was just published last month, so we can have a first-hand experience of leaning how we can apply mindfulness in a holistic manner!

We look forward to seeing you.
