KZN pupils learn meditation and mindfulness in peace-building programme

On Monday, the Sivananda World Peace Foundation celebrated International Peace Day with a peace-building program for pupils at Eniwe High School in KwaZulu-Natal. The event's theme, "Serve. Love. Be Good, Do Good," emphasized social cohesion, wellness, and peace among young people.

Under the guidance of Sivananda World Peace Foundation president Prince Ishwar Ramlutchman Mabheka Zulu, a Royal Ambassador for Social Cohesion and Economic Development in the Zulu Kingdom, pupils participated in meditation, breathwork, yoga, mindfulness, and discussions on respect, moral regeneration, and peaceful co-existence. Zulu stressed that teaching children to meditate and breathe with respect for all faiths and cultures would foster a peaceful society, starting in the classroom.

The program included yoga sessions titled "Unity in Diversity" and wellness and mindfulness activities to promote emotional well-being among pupils. By participating in these initiatives, the foundation aims to cultivate positive contributions from youth to their schools and communities, promoting peace, respect, and social cohesion.
