In this session we will explore how authentic human stories from around the world can provide a highly impactful tool to embed character education, facilitate social and emotional learning, and ultimately foster human flourishing within our schools and wider communities. Human stories allow us to forge connections with others, experience diverse perspectives, cultivate empathy, and ignite a personal drive to take action. By delving into the rich tapestry of human experiences from around the world, we gain invaluable insights into a range of perspectives and worldviews, enabling us to foster a deeper understanding of others and ourselves. This session will explore academic research and classroom-based studies showing the profound impact human stories can have in the classroom and beyond.
