We meet, hear talks, meditate, and discuss with like-minded people and then apply what we learn to our everyday life. It is not at all necessary to have any previous experience of meditation or Buddhism to participate.

None in 3:

One in three women and girls will experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime. The None in Three global research centre for the prevention of global based violence, argues that ‘none’ in three is the only acceptable statistic.

Domestic abuse takes places at all levels of society, regardless of gender, social class, race, religion, sexuality or disability (Department of Health), and undoubtedly has an impact on employees within the workplace and takes many forms. Members of the None in Three Centre team will be on hand to share information for Managers, on how to identify and address the signs and behaviours of abuse, as well as providing details of local and national organisations who can help abuse victims.

The team are also excited to be able to showcase their serious computer game ‘Danielle’, which was recently trialled in a number of Schools in the West Yorkshire region. This game focuses on the intimate relationship between Danielle (16) and James (17); and the story centres around James’ attitude and behaviour towards Danielle, which becomes more controlling and abusive. Danielle experiences a range of emotions including confusion and distress as she tries to understand why the relationship has changed. The game aims to facilitate young people’s learning about what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like, empowering them to spot and call out the early signs of intimate partner violence, to prevent it in their relationships. This should be of great interest to those of you that have connections with Schools in particular.

Be sure to visit the None in Three stand to find out more!
