Our Story

A group of red rubber balls with cartoon faces of different expressions. On the floor at their feet there are childrens toys and a grey cat.

Created as a resource for teachers and professionals, Our Story is an animation made by young refugees from Kingsway Park High School.

This moving film gave the young people a chance to share their feelings and fears on joining a new school and offers meaningful advice on the simple steps that would make a new person feel welcome.

Our Story was shared with 25,000 children in Rochdale Borough assemblies during Hate Crime Awareness Week 2019 and has been shared widely across the globe!
