Labyrinth, Faculty of Education University of Ostrava, meditation

The current student population in the Czech Republic, often described as the generation of ?millennials?, young people growing up in a liberal society, surrounded with sophisticated technology, has found itself on an edge. To be ?in? means to be on-line night and day but the digitalised age brings well-mapped consequences in the form of technology addiction or high individualisation - and a reduced ability to get around in real relationships. The imbalance in the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of understanding the personality is becoming more immense. On the other hand, while experiential learning in schools is still considered the opposite, it has a growing potential at present. The Faculty of Education helped create an original project in the Czech Republic, ranking the University of Ostrava among other world universities. In 2016, a labyrinth was built at the centre of the campus courtyard. It serves as a place of rest and it also brings the opportunity to mindfulness, concentrating and meditating. Will this ancient multicultural tool speak to students?
