In the time when we are overwhelmed with information, important things often elude us. Conscious attention allows us not to let that happen, to really feel, hear and see. The paper presents the importance of practicing conscious attention, both in teaching and extracurricular activities. It contributes to making students feel more comfortable, more relaxed, more aware of the world around them and, more importantly, themselves and their senses in that world. Conscious attention can be a framework for stimulating learning because it has a lot in common with the project approach in teaching, which expects students to discover, research, and be as active as possible. The teacher is an associate and a coach, but the students themselves determine their path of acquiring knowledge, experience and awareness. Examples are given of how we can practice and develop awareness and attention in different school activities.
