Katherine Weare is Emeritus Professor at the University of Southampton and co-lead for Education for the Mindfulness Initiative. Starting out as a secondary school teacher, Katherine is known internationally for her ground-breaking work on mindfulness in education. This grows out of a long career focusing on research and development on well-being, mental health, and social and emotional learning in education. Katherine has published some of the most influential books, papers and reviews in the field, advised UK governments, the European Union and the World Health Organisation, and led on the development of practical strategies and programmes across most European countries which have been sustained to this day. These include the seminal 'Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning' (SEAL) programme across the UK, and the 'European Network of Healthy Schools' across Europe, both of which put wellbeing at the heart of the whole school process. Her recent book, co-written with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh 'Happy Teachers Change The World: A Guide to Cultivating Mindfulness in Education' has been translated into 7 languages and won several awards. She is currently leading the development of the vibrant 'Community of Contemplative Education' for Mind and Life Europe.
