This pack for teachers contains films and activities about children's lives in four countries, for key stage 2 geography, PSHE and citizenship.
Mai from rural Vietnam, Naresh from Hyderabad in India, Alexia from the rainforests of Peru, and Elene from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, are aged between 8 and 10. Their real-life stories are told through four short films in this pack. The similarities and differences between their lives and those of UK pupils are explored via a range of activities.
