Volumes of research show that mindfulness can make a transformational impact on the lives of young people enabling them to lead a more healthy, happy and compassionate life by being better equipped to handle the challenges that life brings.
We believe that all young people have unlimited inner resources and that these can be consciously nurtured and developed.
Structure Of The .b Curriculum
The Mindfulness in Schools Project 10-week .b course is a well planned mindful program designed for 11-18 year olds that is backed by 10 years of development, research and superb resources for the classroom. Delivered in a 1-hour class, students engage in discussion and mindful activities and are encouraged to practice at home with professional audio and animation on their mobile devices.

An Introduction:
This introductory lesson persuades young people that mindfulness is worth learning about by making it relevant to their lives. 
Playing Attention:
This lesson introduces students to this thing we call our “attention” which, like a puppy, needs to be trained. 
Taming the Animal Mind:
Explores different mind states and teaches that ‘anchoring’ attention in the body, alongside the cultivation of curiosity and kindness, can be calming and nourishing. 
Recognising Worry:
Explains the tricks our mind plays that lead to stress and anxiety, and gives us techniques to deal with them. 
Being Here Now:
Comes to the heart of mindfulness and teaches us how to respond, rather than react, to whatever happens in our lives. |
Moving Mindfully:
Shows us that mindfulness is not just something we do sitting or lying down. It also looks at high performance in sport. 
Stepping Back:
Offers us a new way of relating to our thoughts. We don’t have to let them carry us away to places we’d rather not be. 
Befriending the Difficult:
Deals with the greatest challenge of all: dealing with difficult emotions. 
Taking in the Good:
Focuses on gratitude and the ‘heartfulness’ of taking in & savouring what is ‘good’ in life. 
Pulling it Altogether:
Consolidates the key techniques from .b and inspires students to use what they have learned in the future. |
