Lyfta is a multi-award winning immersive teaching and learning platform that invites pupils to experience different cultures andperspectives. It gives pupils and teachers the opportunity to see, and form a connection with, positive human stories from around the world modelling resilience, problem-solving, teamwork,
and many other critical skills, values and competencies.

The platform is made up of an array of 360° interactive spaces and soundscapes of real homes, workplaces and environments from across the globe, known as storyworlds.

Pupils can explore each storyworld, taking in the sights and sounds as they move around the space, unlocking rich media content and getting to know real people through powerful and inspiring short documentary films. The interactive and immersive nature of the platform ensures pupils  are highly engaged and emotionally
connected to their learning.

The content and resources are ideal for teaching a range of subjects including literacy, personal social and health education, relationshipsand sex education, physical education, geography, citizenship, science, religious education, and design & technology.

The ready-made lesson and assembly plans cover a range of vital themes such as sustainability, wellbeing, human diversity and compassion, and are ideal for nurturing vital skills and values such as empathy, resilience, and critical thinking.

At Teesville we have incorporated Lyfta story worlds into our afternoon curriculum to support with the teaching of History, Geography, RE and PSHE.

We also have a dedicated 'Lyfta Time' every Friday afternoon, right across school. These sessions develop pupils understanding of the wider world through discussion and reflection on a range of subjects.

It helps us to understand we are global citizens.

Lyfta Pedagogy

Resilience, empathy and global citizenship education

Lyfta’s mission is to nurture resilience, empathy and global citizenship through immersive and interactive learning. Their films and resources help spark curiosity and a sense of human connection. Their pedagogical approach is designed to harness this curiosity, and supports teachers to develop the critical thinking skills in their pupils that are required to thrive in and improve our increasingly uncertain world.
