Youth Social Action Resource Hub

This overview provides background knowledge for staff to understand the topic of Inclusion and Diversity and how it can be delivered at Key Stage 1.

Diversity and inclusion help children learn to empathise with people who are different from them. It makes all young people better learners, allowing them to understand various subjects from multiple points of view. By having access to educational content, each child is able to fully participate in their own learning, which provides them with the skills and resources for later life. At each key stage, we have used the National Curriculum, providing links and examples of how inclusion and diversity can be delivered through a range of subjects or as bespoke lessons as part of the inspire and inform steps of Youth Social Action.

On this resource page, you will find the following lessons and guide: Teaching Youth Social Action Guide Lesson 1: How is our planet's geography diverse? Lesson 2: What makes people unique? Lesson 3: How can we celebrate our diversity? Lesson 4: How can sporting events connect us together? Lesson 5: How can inclusion promote diversity? Lesson 6: How can we be inclusive towards others?

The curriculum integration map provides opportunities to deliver the teaching of Inclusion and Diversity through different subject areas. It can be read to obtain an overview of the connections made with the National Curriculum. It can also inform the planning of activities that will teach social action skills or inform future social action planning.
