Alot of great work is being done to promote mindfulness to children and teenagers in schools across the country. The Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP) is a charity whose aim is to inform, create, train and support the teaching of secular mindfulness to young people and those who care for them.
It has already touched the lives of thousands of individuals through a series of innovative programmes. These include the.b course, a 10-week course for young people aged 11-18, delivered in the classroom or in small groups within other youth-related settings.
The curriculum is a set of 10 lessons, each teaching a distinct mindfulness skill, and designed to do so in a way which engages young minds. The lessons typically include images and animations which bring these skills to life and most importantly, practical exercises which teach the core skills and make them relevant to the pupils lives.
