This workshop designed for Key Stage 2 draws on the story of Danny the Champion of the World, his unusual life, and his relationship with his father.
Objectives (PHSE):
- Learn about diversity: what it means and about valuing diversity within communities
- Think about stereotypes and how they can negatively influence behaviours and attitudes
- Learn about prejudice and how to recognise actions which discriminate against others
- Think about the roles different people (acquaintances, friends and relatives) play in our lives
- Identify the people who love and care for them and what they do to help them feel cared for
- Think about different types of families including those that may be different to their own
- Identify common features of family life
In a typical 90-minute session pupils will:

- Discuss and compare the lives of Danny and his Dad to other children’s lives
- Take a look at Romany caravan art and discuss discrimination
