Internationale conferentie over mindfulness 2024

The 2024 International Conference on Mindfulness (ICM) will be in Bangor, UK!

The event will bring together scientists, teachers, and practitioners from different strands of the mindfulness field including traditional contemplative and modern mainstream, with policy makers, service users and the general public. Universiteit van Bangor is hosting the event in collaboration with the Mindfulness Netwerk charity.

The conference aims to offer a space for connection, conversation, inquiry, and dialogue to support us in discovering how mindfulness can best contribute to the multiple intersecting challenges of the times we are living in:

• We zullen mindfulness onderzoekers, trainers, supervisors, leraren en praktijkmensen samenbrengen met contemplatieven, beleidsmakers, dienstgebruikers en het grote publiek.
• We will aim to include (as speakers and participants) the voices of those who historically have not been at the table.
• We stellen de uitdagende vragen en dilemma's aan de orde waar we allemaal mee te maken hebben als we onderzoeken wat er op dit moment het meest nodig is in de wereld.

Er komt een conferentiecentrum in de Pontio arts centre in Bangor, with simultaneous linked conferences around the world, joining together for the keynotes and plenaries, alongside creating their own local conference content.

Over the coming months, the plans will develop, and partners and sponsors will be invited to engage to make this a truly collaborative conference with the widest possible reach and impact.

We are looking for a Conference Manager – interested?

What is the conference about?

Bringing diverse perspectives to the table, we aim to catalyse dialogue and inquiry about the ways mindfulness can contribute to current global challenges, from a whole systems perspective which includes science, empiricism and contemplative and traditional ways of knowing. The conference will explore both how mindfulness can contribute to the challenges of social disruption, inequality, lack of inclusion and diversity, and climate and biodiversity breakdown, as well as inquiring into mindfulness approaches in education, workplaces and health and wellbeing.

Accessibility and sustainability

We streven ernaar om de conferentie zo breed en gemakkelijk mogelijk toegankelijk te maken en om zo duurzaam mogelijk te zijn. Er zal online toegang zijn, internationale satellietcentra, live vertolking in verschillende talen en de sessies zullen worden opgenomen voor toekomstige toegang.

We aim is to keep costs for all attendees as low as possible, and to offer bursary places. Over the next year funding will be sought to help with this and soon there will be a conference website where individuals and organisations will be able to donate to support the conference. At the conference venues themselves, as much as possible will be done to minimise environmental impact.
