‘Diversityville: Street 1’ is a complete teaching resource designed to introduce and explore diversity, equality and inclusion across both the primary and secondary phases. Set in a fictional town, Diversityville is home to a range of families who, while they may appear different in many ways, also share many similarities with us. This resource helps pupils make meaningful connections with others through stories, discussion, and creative activities. The town can be introduced as a completed display or built gradually, with residents ‘moving in’ one at a time to support ongoing conversation and reflection. Each Diversityville story tells of a child who has recently moved to the town. Their story explains their background, how and why they arrived in Diversityville, and highlights differences and similarities that can be used as key teaching and discussion points. Every story ends with a reflective question to encourage pupils to consider their connection to the child. The resources in ‘Diversityville: Street 1’ include: 6 engaging stories, each inspired by real-life situations (Street 1 includes immigration, adoption, disability, diverse families, mental health, and young carers) 6 fully resourced lesson plans – one for each story – including a story-led discussion, guided reflection, targeted vocabulary, paired or group activities, and a creative task such as artwork, drama, or personal writing to help children connect with each character’s experience A selection of illustrated homes to represent each child’s arrival in the town A map-pin style portrait for each child to add to your display A title banner and town explanation to introduce Diversityville to your class or school ‘Diversityville: Street 1’ is a flexible, inclusive resource that opens the door to important conversations and helps children build understanding, empathy and connection – one story at a time.
