Storyworlds are at the heart of Lyfta. A storyworld is an immersive learning environment where students interact with 360° spaces and soundscapes, explore curriculum-aligned rich media articles and watch high-quality short documentary films. Each storyworld features an inspiring real human story, carefully selected to spark curiosity, empathy and compassion and open up conversations on important topics.
Lyfta engages students by lifting them out of their everyday surroundings, inviting them to explore the world. 94% of teachers say that students find Lyfta "engaging" or "very engaging". Lyfta boosts classroom engagement by connecting with students on an emotional level and sparking interesting discussions. Students are able to connect with real human stories introducing them to diverse cultures and perspectives which builds knowledge and cultural capital.
