Children in Crossfire believes that local and global change-makers act from a place of compassion and with a desire to make the world a better place for everyone. Sometimes creating change and transforming power structures can be a very hard and tiring job with challenges arising that can be difficult for us to navigate. We believe that resilience, kindness, connection and gratitude are some key skills that change-makers need to help them sustain their action and their commitment to a fairer and more compassionate world for everyone.

These video resources have been created for schools to support students with blended learning in their compassionate global citizenship lessons.
