Proponents of Consciousness-Based Education in Poland are working with schools to implement the programme for developing students' total brain functioning. Numerous school directors expressed interest after two major conferences introduced Consciousness-Based Education to hundreds of educators in Poland last November.

To follow up on this momentum, Raja Willem Meijles, Raja (Administrator) of Invincible Poland and Dr Wojtek Skalski, Deputy Minister of Architecture for the Global Country of World Peace, recently visited Lodz and Warsaw to meet with a top official of the Polish educational authority, the Director of Education in Lodz (the country's second largest city), directors of a teacher training institute and a private secondary school, and the vice rector of a major university.

Said Dr Skalski, 'In every case the response is positive. Since the conferences last year with Dr Ashley Deans* and Dr John Hagelin** (international educators and experts in Consciousness-Based Education), the school directors understand the benefits of the programme, including total brain development through the Transcendental Meditation Technique. Now they are asking for proposals to implement it.'

The support of the David Lynch Foundation for Consciousness-Based Education and World Peace has contributed greatly to the open attitude expressed by the Polish educators. Highly regarded in Poland, Dr David Lynch, the renowned filmmaker and philanthropist, makes an annual visit to Lodz, which is the film production centre of the country. (read more)
