(This guidebook is in Chinese.)

Jockey Club “Peace and Awareness” Mindfulness Culture in Schools Initiative (JC PandA) has been working closely with 9 seeds schools and 27 affiliated schools to develop mindfulness school culture since 2019. The benefits of mindfulness are being brought to thousands of students, teachers and parents. The implementation of the project has epitomized the ambition, insight and courage of the educators in Hong Kong. To share their precious experience with the likeminded educators who also aspire to promote the well-being of school community, Professor Shui-fong Lam, Director of JC PandA, with three Educational Psychologists from the project, have written a guidebook entitled “Mindfulness Culture in Schools” (《靜觀校園文化》).
