Dr Inma Adarves-Yorno (Business School) will present a case study reflecting honestly on mistakes made and lessons learned in capturing evidence about the impact of her mindfulness work in African prisons.

Dr Adarves-Yorno is working with the Kenyan Prison Services and the African Prisons Project (APP) to create a unique rehabilitation programme. Inmates, some of whom have been given death sentences, are using a series of self-awareness and mindfulness techniques to help them become more emotionally resilient.

Prisoners have told Dr Adarves-Yorno the training has changed their life, and they will help mentor and educate others. But evidencing the change is a challenging process – come along to hear how Inma has risen to it, and what she has learned along the way.
