Overview
About This Lesson
Being seen as you want to be seen is an invaluable gift. In this lesson, students will consider how feelings of belonging and connection that come from supportive relationships can have a powerful impact on one’s self-esteem and self-development. They will engage with one or more short animated films to understand the power of positive and supportive relationships and consider the “pearls of wisdom” they have received that are helping to shape their sense of identity and belonging in the world.
