METTĀVERSES

RESEARCH

BACKGROUND

The project aims to promote the Humanistic Buddhist values of Loving Kindness and Compassion as a solution to increasing social isolation and "atomization" through a website that acts as a hub for information, resources, events, and community building.

STRATEGY

A comprehensive literature review was completed for the project as well as a feasibility study with ethics approval. The feasibility study  involved an online survey about the precise form that MettāVerses should take. Results from the survey showed that the preferred form for MettāVerses was a website supplemented by some live online events.
