MEDITATIVE RELAXATION  SEMINAR HELD IN SARAJEVO
	    


Three Meditative  relaxation seminars for stress management were held in Sarajevo on January 22 and 23, 2018 as  part of a three-year education program CHILDREN ARE OUR MIRROR:  Prevention of peer- and gender-based violence in BH schools, which is being  implemented by TPO Foundation in cooperation with three ministries of education from the Federation of Bosnia and  Herzegovina. In total, 35 teachers  and pedagogues from ten elementary schools in Sarajevo Canton participated  in the training. The seminars were led by Professor  Zilka Spahić-Šiljak.
The goal of the seminars was to familiarize educators with methods of keeping  an awakened heart because  it helps in reducing the stress and conflict we feel on daily basis. 
		  
Research has shown that an awakened  heart is a natural capacity for everyone, while mindfulness can be  achieved with continuous practice. The seminar participants were pleased with  the fact that they gained knowledge and education aimed at their self-growth as  well as growing their teaching expertise.
