In this interactive workshop, educators will explore Dean Qigong techniques to help students manage anxiety. From exam stress to social pressures, anxiety can deeply affect a student’s well-being and academic performance. By integrating Qigong practices into the classroom, teachers can provide a holistic method to support students in overcoming these challenges. Participants will learn specific Qigong exercises designed to regulate energy, calm the mind, and restore balance. The focus will be on meditative movements, breathing techniques, and energy cultivation to promote a grounded and peaceful state. These practices can be adapted for students of all ages and backgrounds, offering simple yet effective tools to reduce anxiety and build resilience. By the end of the workshop, educators will have practical experience guiding students through Qigong exercises to manage stress, improve focus, and foster emotional well-being—tools that can be easily integrated into the school day.
This workshop will share the process of planning and delivering a personal safety curriculum for early years and junior school students.
The session will focus on one school counsellor’s experience of planning curriculums for two international schools in Shanghai and Germany, based on recommendations from CIS Consultant Susie March. The session will begin by discussing the context of the lessons and why it is important for international schools to teach them. We will then look at an example scope and sequence with samples of lesson content and activities that can be delivered by classroom teachers and/ or school counsellors.
We will also look at useful resources and discuss how the curriculum can be adapted depending on the time constraints and number of staff available to deliver the lessons.
Finally, the workshop will explore how to navigate parent communication, with some suggestions and examples of how to introduce this topic to the parent community, as well as advice on how to answer questions and concerns from parents.
