"If you want to teach young people mindfulness, you've got to understand it from the inside out" - The Mindfulness in schools project helps schools and youth organisations to develop mindfulness initiatives and Claire's role is to develop classroom friendly materials and train teachers to deliver them.

We get into the struggle of mass implementation, the Myriad project (headed up by Oxford University) one of the largest mindfulness in education research projects, we discuss the 5000 teachers trained and the 500000 children reached, the randomised control trial involving 8000 students and 250 teachers. And the big question ‘Does mindfulness help with exam results’? 

Action for Happiness is a movement of people committed to building a happier and more caring society.  You can join thousands of others who are spreading a bit more happiness in their homes, workplaces, schools and local communities. Our website has all the information you need to sign up for our ‘exploring what matters course’ and also details about facilitating one yourself, all the information is online, and we are here to answer any questions you have.
