Identity
Students feel seen, heard and recognised
Identity work early in the year gives every student a way to describe themselves that is theirs, not a label handed to them by someone else.
Then treat me the same.
Ten classroom activities that help students name who they are, set their boundaries, and respect everyone else’s.
My name is my identity
Six questions, six answers
Using someone’s name is the smallest act of respect there is, and the one that changes a room the fastest.
WHAT?
A year of activities
Ten sessions run inside normal class time, one a month, each building on the last. Written by child psychologists and experienced teachers. Students celebrate, define and defend their own identity, and the year ends with a festival built from their own work.
WHY?
Conversation is the gateway
People need the tools, and the permission, to talk about these complex issues in respectful ways. Discrimination is hard to discuss without shared words, so the campaign hands students and staff the vocabulary and the safety to have the conversation properly.
WHO?
Everybody, adults included
Activities adapt from the youngest classes to the highest grades. Students, parents and educators all get the framework, the tools and the permission to define their own boundaries.
HOW?
Self-worth, awareness, respect
Tools to build self-worth and personal value. Activities that show students the impact their words carry. Methods that turn mutual respect into a habit rather than a rule.
WHEN?
Once a month, all year
Ten classroom-based activities, roughly one a month, culminating in a celebration of identity in June. The timeframe flexes to suit your calendar.
CULTURE
Culture can change
This campaign provides the framework for an organic cultural shift to one of inclusion, acceptance and respect. Create the culture you want to work in.

Expected impact
What changes in the building
The campaign is designed to shift daily behaviour, not to run an assembly and hope.
Identity
Boundaries
Boundaries get said out loud
Students practise naming what is not okay with them, and hearing it from someone else without the moment escalating.
Culture
Fewer incidents of bullying and exclusion
Shared language and repeated practice take the fuel out of name-calling. Conversations carry on between sessions, and that is where the culture actually moves.
For the whole community
What a school gets out of it
- Strengthens student confidence and self-expression
- Encourages a culture of respect and inclusion
- Reduces incidents of bullying and exclusion
- Enhances communication and social skills
- Builds a supportive and engaged school community
The school year
Trust first, harder questions later
The order matters more than the spacing. Here are the first four months; the full year is on the programme page.
September · Activities 1 and 2
The power of a name
Builds a foundation of trust and openness, then sends each student to find the meaning and the love behind their own name.
October · Activity 3
How I want to be addressed
Guides students to identify and express how they want to be addressed.
November · Activity 4
Name over label
Explores why a name carries more respect than any label ever could.
December · Activity 5
Too complex for one word
Shows students that they are far too complex to be reduced to a single label.
