Little Amal has become a global symbol of hope and Bigfoot’s World Friendship Ambassadors are delighted to be part of sharing the story of this incredible 12-foot puppet of a ten year old Syrian refugee, with schools across the UK. Her experience creatively demonstrates how simple acts of kindness and welcome can make a big difference to those who find themselves displaced during this, the world’s biggest refugee crisis.
Learning Objectives:
- To help students understand why people are forcibly displaced and seek refuge and safety in countries far away from their own.
- To recognise that Refugees are children and adults just like us
- To empathise with Refugees by exploring the experiences they have of leaving home, journeying, missing people, places and things and the emotions associated with this.
- To understand how important diversity is and that people seeking refuge in the UK help enrich our communities.
- To explore what we can do to ensure we play an active role in welcoming, supporting and helping Refugees who find refuge in the UK.
Schools can book Think Simple Act Big to celebrate Refugee Week, Multi-Cultural weeks or to support the PSHE curriculum for Equality, Diversity & Inclusion.
This is a whole school assembly programme, followed by hour-long drama workshops for each class group of 30 pupils from KS1 & KS2.
