Today, Lyfta turns 10 ❤️ For the last decade, we’ve worked with incredible filmmakers, educators, artists, communities, and young people to share real human stories from around the world through immersive documentaries and storyworlds. One student’s words stayed with us: “There’s a word, it’s called sonder. It means the realisation that everyone has their own story and everyone has their own life, just as complex as our own. Some people look at other people and dismiss them, some people want to know the story behind them. Lyfta makes us the second kind of person.” We honestly can’t think of a better reflection of what these 10 years have been about. Thank you to every student, teacher, filmmaker, partner, collaborator, and community who has been part of this journey. Here’s to stories, human connection, and the next chapter. #Lyfta10 #HumanConnection #Education #Storytelling #Documentary #Empathy #Belonging

As Lyfta turns 10, we’ve been reflecting on the schools helping children feel calm, connected and ready to learn. At St Mary’s CofE Primary in Rochdale, Lyfta is supporting wellbeing, self-regulation, oracy and belonging across the school. “Every child can engage and thrive.” — KS1 Lead Francesca Robinson Read the case study here: bit.ly/4tpGcGV 🎥 We’re also sharing a short video from Francesca on the impact Lyfta has had in her classroom. #Education #Oracy #Belonging #PrimaryEducation

Almost half of schools and trusts are cutting trips and outings, new Sutton Trust research finds. But what if you could teleport all your pupils to experience real human stories in more than 80 countries around the world, for a whole year... ...all for less than the cost of coach hire for one trip?

Schools are being asked to support students through increasingly complex social, emotional and digital realities, often within structures that weren’t originally designed for them. We’ve put together a short insights piece exploring how some schools are beginning to respond through: • media literacy • belonging and inclusion • student wellbeing and reflection Grounded in examples from Rochdale, Barnet and Slough. bit.ly/42Uh3ta #EducationLeadership #SchoolLeadership #MultiAcademyTrusts #StudentWellbeing #MediaLiteracy

“In a world of viral deepfakes, malign influencer content and growing uncertainty about what is real, media literacy must be embedded in lessons from primary school to protect children.” hubs.la/Q048tbLs0

Values are on every school wall. But how often are they truly lived? The challenge isn’t defining values, it’s embedding them. We’ve created a simple Reflection Guide to help: • Real classroom conversations • Shared language across staff • Stronger belonging • No extra workload 👉 Download: hubs.la/Q048rXFY0 #EducationLeadership #MATLeaders #SchoolCulture #ValuesEducation

Most schools are clear on their values. The harder question is: how do those values become something pupils actually experience every day? Some reflections from a recent conversation with trust leaders 👇 bit.ly/4rI0bjg #edutwitter #MATleaders
