Two Sati Pasala programs were conducted on 21st and 22nd of March 2022 at Special Education Resource Center in Ampitiya for the Special Education Teachers in the Kandy Zone. About 60 Teachers who are in the Special Education Sector took part in the programs conducted by the Kandy team. Participants were given a basic knowledge on Mindfulness and given the chance to practice several mindful activities such as Mindful Walking, Mindful Sitting, Mindful Listening, Mindful Eating and several other Mindful games and activities. At the end of each program participants were given the opportunity to present their ideas on how to implement mindfulness at the school level. Despite the challenges that can arise when introducing Mindfulness to children with special needs, participants came up with many ways and methods to teach the children with special needs. They also highlighted that Mindfulness is not only important for the children with special needs but to teachers who put in a tremendous effort to teach these children as well. Director Special Education Mr. Mahakumbura organized the program.
