Start here
Before downloading individual lessons, open the Teacher’s Guide.
It shows how everything fits together.
Learning for Life is not a set of separate lessons. It is a connected journey made up of three strands:
Personal
Social
Earth
They are not silos. They are strands of one conversation that deepen and loop over time.
Lesson for Life subjects are many, but the story is one.
Start with the Teacher’s Guide, it shows how each part connects. The three foundations (Personal, Social and Earth) hold six topics each, woven into one conversation: who we are, how we live together, how we belong to the world.
Identity flows into Equality and Justice. Happiness links to Clothes, Food and Water. Refugee Journeys spark questions of Belonging, Habitats and Faith.
Together, these topics invite young people to know themselves, belong with others and live as part of the world that sustains us.

Learning for Life is not a set of separate lessons but a journey where every step is connected.
Begin with the Teacher’s Guide. It opens the door and shows how the whole comes together. These foundations are not three separate boxes of lessons but three strands of one living conversation: with ourselves, with each other and with the earth.
Personal: Knowing yourself
Here we begin close in. Lessons on Awe and Wonder, Identity, and Faith and Spirituality invite young people to listen inwardly, to discover the inner ground of resilience and belonging. Even here, the self is never isolated, to understand Global Cultures or the tug of Social Media is already to meet the world pressing in.
Social: Living together
From this inner work flows the practice of community. Topics like Equality and Justice, Refugee Journeys, and Homelessness call learners to empathy, to imagine themselves in another’s story. And as they explore Love and Relationships or the pull of Groups and Gangs, they see that community can either fracture or heal and that their part in it matters.
Earth: Belonging to the world
Finally, the circle widens to our shared home. Lessons on Changing Climates, Habitats, and Water show that we are not apart from nature but of it. To think about Food or Clothes is to see the hidden systems we all depend on and to choose whether they harm or heal.
Together, these strands are a weave. To explore one is always to touch the others. This is why the topics exist as they do: not as content to cover, but as invitations to live, to belong, to care. These aren’t lessons where you lecture then quiz. It’s more like a campfire conversation, a place to ask big questions, reflect, experiment, try things out.

Learning for Life is not a set of separate lessons but a journey where every step is connected.
We begin with the inner world: curiosity, awe and wonder, identity, faith, happiness. These are the anchors of self-knowledge, helping young people explore who they are and how they find meaning.
But no one lives in isolation. So the path widens into community: exploring justice and equality, refugee journeys, homelessness, gangs, social media, love and relationships. Here students learn not only to think about society, but to feel the human impact of their choices and to imagine fairer, kinder ways of living together.
And always, threaded through, is the Earth itself: climate, habitats, food, water, clothes, waste. These are not ‘environmental issues’ taught at the edge of school life but the very fabric of how we belong to the living world.
When taken together, the eighteen topics are not isolated units but part of one whole; head, heart and hands working in concert. Awe connects to kindness. Identity links with justice. Belonging to each other makes sense only when we recognise our belonging to the Earth. This is why they sit together: not as content to be delivered but as experiences to be lived. Lessons that feel less like a timetable and more like a map of being human.

Frequently asked questions
What is this pack, exactly?
Each pack contains a set of classroom journeys designed to open meaningful conversations about life. Topics span self-care, people-care, and earth-care and are carefully shaped for different age ranges from 5 to 18.
They are not lessons to deliver, but invitations to explore questions that matter.
What kinds of topics do these journeys explore?
The journeys explore themes young people are already living with, often without language or space to process them. These include identity, happiness, belonging, relationships, justice, global cultures, climate, food, clothing, waste, water, and our relationship with the living world.
The same themes appear across ages, but the questions, activities, and depth are always age-appropriate.
Are these resources suitable for my age group?
Yes. Each pack is designed for a specific age range, from early primary through to post-16. While the themes remain consistent, the way they are explored changes significantly as children grow.
You can confidently use the pack knowing it has been shaped with developmental stages in mind.
How long does a journey take?
Each journey is flexible by design.
You can use them as:
a 15-minute reflective pause
a 30-minute inquiry
or a full lesson or series of conversations
There is no fixed duration and no expectation to “complete” anything.
Do I need specialist knowledge to use these?
No. You do not need to be an expert in wellbeing, psychology, sustainability, or ethics.
Each journey is designed to be explored with young people, not delivered to them. Your role is to hold the space, not to have the answers.
Are these aligned with the curriculum?
Yes. The journeys are designed to sit naturally alongside existing curriculum areas such as PSHE, Citizenship, Religious Education, Geography, English, and cross-curricular inquiry.
They work particularly well where schools are exploring wellbeing, character, values, or sustainability, but they are not tied to a single subject.
How sensitive are the topics?
Carefully so.
Many of the themes identity, home, justice, climate, relationships require thoughtful handling. Each journey is designed to open conversation gently, with clear boundaries and age-appropriate framing.
You are always encouraged to adapt, pause, or redirect based on your context and the young people in front of you.
Can I adapt or edit the resources?
Yes. Every pack is provided as an editable PowerPoint.
You are encouraged to:
change language
remove or add slides
adapt examples
localise content
These journeys are meant to be shaped by you.
Can I use these with groups beyond schools?
Absolutely.
Educators, youth workers, facilitators, parents, and community leaders all use Learning for Life journeys in different settings. If you work with young people in any capacity, these resources are designed to travel with you.
Is this really free?
Yes. These packs are offered as a gift.
They draw on over a decade of action research and practice in regenerative education and are shared in the belief that these conversations matter too much to be hidden behind a paywall.
What happens next?
You can start using your pack straight away.
If you choose to, you may also hear from us occasionally with new journeys, reflections, or invitations to deepen the work. There is no obligation, and you can opt out at any time.
