Zen in the City ETS

Zen in the City is an Italian non-profit organisation working at the intersection of education, wellbeing, and contemporary digital life. The organisation develops and disseminates secular, inclusive mindfulness and reflective practices, inspired by contemplative traditions and grounded in a non-religious approach, aimed at supporting emotional balance, resilience, and critical self-awareness in everyday and educational contexts. Zen in the City works through educational content, training activities, and methodology development, addressing themes such as stress, emotional regulation, attention, digital overload, and the impact of technology on mental health and learning processes. The organisation is involved in European cooperation projects, including the Erasmus+ project WISE-UP (Wellness Integration and Smart Education for Understanding and Prevention), focused on digital wellbeing in educational settings. Within these projects, Zen in the City contributes primarily at a thematic and methodological level, supporting educators, learners, and partner organisations. Zen in the City collaborates with international partners in school, youth, and community contexts, and is particularly interested in Erasmus+ projects where educational quality, content development, and long-term impact are central.
