1 BUILDing a Safe\/Shared Space<\/h2>\n
\"YouTube<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

This package of lessons will introduce the importance of creating a \u2018Safe Space\u2019 (teachers sometimes also use ‘Shared Space’ or ‘Brave Space’) with the students, exploring why it is helpful to agree on shared principles when working with a group of people to enable everyone to feel comfortable to participate fully.\u00a0As a framework, creating a Safe Space allows and encourages recognition of topics and themes that might be sensitive for an individual, group, class, school or community and develops skills to navigate and address these issues in the classroom and beyond.<\/p>\n

By creating a class set of principles, using the acronym BUILD and exploring each of the principles in each lesson, the students receive the perfect introduction to enable them to set a respectful safe space to explore issues around identity\/world views.<\/p>\n
