Mind the System

As the first project of my PhD, I am conducting a study in collaboration with a U.S. non-profit organization in Baltimore called the Holistic Life Foundation, Inc. I am responsible for the evaluation of implementation processes of a newly developed mindfulness/yoga program for the classroom. With quantitative as well as qualitiative research methods, I will assess facilitating as well as hindrance factors of the implementation and how these can be eventually overcome. We aim to provide knowledge to help shape the specifically towards the needs of schools, teachers and students. For this project I will be staying in the US for 6 months starting in August 2018.
