Introduction to animal welfare

Our learning programme introduces the idea that animals have feelings. Through these lessons, young learners build empathy by exploring the world through an animal’s perspective.

*Note* We will soon be updating these lessons to include voice overs and discuss a wider range of animals in each lesson.

Helping Young Minds Care for Animals

Learning through shared needs

These lessons help learners understand the needs of animals while drawing meaningful parallels to their own lives. By exploring a range of topics, learners discover how much we share—such as the need for a safe home, healthy food, and good company. This connection builds empathy and responsibility, inspiring young minds to make positive choices that benefit both animals and people.
