BBC Teach

“How to Be a Better Ally to Your Students” is a collection of short films produced for BBC Teach that explore how to be a better ally to students facing challenges due to their race, background, or language skills. I worked with BLAK WAVE Production Company to create animations for three videos: Refugee Allies, English as an Additional Language (EAL) Allies, and East and South East Asian Allies.

The videos are designed to support everyone working within schools or educational settings, providing insight into the experiences of young people and the educators who are passionate about helping them. They explore the role of an ally in a school environment and provide practical tips from both students and teachers.

The videos provide an opportunity for educators to gain insight into the experiences of young people and gain a better understanding of their needs. They also help foster a sense of understanding for the students and make it easier for educators to connect with them. Additionally, the videos provide a platform for educators to learn from each other's experiences, discuss challenges, and brainstorm creative solutions.
