IBREA Volunteer

This summer I had the opportunity to help in the preparations for two major events co-hosted by IBREA at the United Nations.

The 4th International Brain Education Conference on June 20th included UN delegates, representatives from the NGO (Non-governmental Organization) community, principals and teachers, brain education instructors, and parents from around the world. Everyone gathered to hear distinguished speakers including Jill Bolte Taylor, who was recognized by Time Magazine as one of the world's 100 most influential people of the year, and reknowned neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, talk about education and the brain and the success of Brain Education programs in schools and other organizations.

Here's a link to a video of the conference:

The 4th International Brain HSP Olympiad held August 12th was an opportunity for children and adults from around the world to participate in friendly events which showed the potential of the brain. Following the events, a series of lectures highlighted the brain and the cultivation of youth leaders as key to world peace and successful management of the earth.

I am especially proud of "Team Canada" (Marek Kazmierczak, Scott Johnston, Dalton Johnston, and Sam Johnston from Burlington) who with much sincerity participated in HSP events for the first time at the preparation camp and Olympiad. Team Canada came away with two awards: Marek received 1st Place in the HSP Body Sense Perception event and Sam received 3rd Place in the HSP Brain Window event.

Here is a link to an article about the Olympiad, where you can see "Team Canada" member, Scott Johnston, participating in the HSP Gym event and read more about the events and the lectures...
