Schools World Service Resources

 

These short films for both primary and secondary schools are designed to raise students` awareness of topical international stories and their effects on the lives of children. They provide a context to develop knowledge and understanding of current affairs and global citizenship and encourage skills and attributes such as discussion and debate, empathy and understanding.

Some of the films have direct links with specific curriculum subjects, others provide valuable resources for use in Circle Time and SEAL, general studies or assemblies and during thematic events such as Black History Week.

Each film has a short introduction and suggestions for discussion, activities and additional resources including notes from the filmmakers. Click here for more information for the filmmakers notes. 

Explore our 'values' films which are also included in the series: Kenya courage, Ghana determination and Russian sport school which are on our Vimeo site.
