Sec Values - Respect & Inclusion 4: Habiba

Teacher notes

This is the 4th session in the Year of Values programme. Each week, we explore a powerful human story from a different part of the world, using real voices to help us explore the values that shape our lives. This session focuses on inclusion, particularly what it feels like to be excluded and what difference it makes when someone feels seen, heard and valued. Today we meet Habiba, a woman and mother in Finland who speaks about identity, belonging, and self-expression - especially as a Black Muslim woman in a country where she often feels misunderstood. Like ALL Lyfta storyworlds, these characters are unique. We don't share stories as being 'typical' or as 'single stories' of people or places. **National Curriculum Links:** **Citizenship KS3/4** - Diversity and identity in the UK and globally Respect, prejudice, and the importance of human rights. **PSHE / RSHE** Respectful relationships Challenging stereotypes and promoting equality Emotional wellbeing and belonging **Religious Education KS3** Exploring beliefs, identity, and values Understanding lived experience across faith and culture.
