About IOJ

The Institute of Jainology (IoJ) is a registered charity established over 15 years ago to promote the Jain religion through art, cultural events and education projects. We have helped to organise a major exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, catalogued the ‘Jain Manuscript’ collection at the British Library and the Welcome Trust and organise an annual ‘Ahimsa’ Day at the House of Commons. You can find out about these and our other activities at www.jainology.org.

Learn Jainism is our first project for UK primary schools. We have worked with the QCA to ensure Jainism was covered in the National Curriculum objectives for KS2. Our first book, Discover Jainism, and this website have been specifically created to provide resources and activities for primary schools.

You can buy Discover Jainism here, and please do join our mailing list here so we can update you whenever we add material to this site. If you have any comments, suggestions or would like to get in touch, please email us at education@jainology.org.
