In this series of articles, we take a closer look at some of the key areas of learning and enrichment we support at Lyfta. All five focus areas are underpinned by the aim to create real world learning encounters which support human flourishing towards a more socially just and sustainable planet.
In this piece we focus on cultural capital and the interrelated concept of intercultural competence. We begin by considering how cultural capital is being defined and then move on to explore how Lyfta can support related educational aims.
In this piece we explore the notion of character education, what this looks like within the contexts in which we teach, why schools should engage with character education and how Lyfta can support schools and teachers to do so.
In this piece we consider sustainability and global citizenship, two separate but interlinked concepts in education. We explore definitions, recommendations and some of the innovative ways in which Lyfta and its storyworlds can support sustainability education in schools.
In this piece we’ll unpack the term DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging), explore the reasons why schools should engage with DEIB initiatives and look at the ways in which Lyfta can support schools in their DEIB journeys.
In this piece we focus on social and emotional learning (SEL). We begin by considering how SEL is being defined, the growing research and evidence around it, and then move on to explore how Lyfta can support related educational aims.
