Young people in schools

Inspiring kindness to animals in the classroom

We've been inspiring kindness to animals through our education work with teachers and youth justice professionals for decades. But now, with the rise of social media, animals and young people facing new challenges.

Through Generation Kind we're ramping up our efforts to inspire kindness in the classroom - helping to shape a kinder future for animals.

Print Young people in schools
Compassionate Class
Our Compassionate Class programme uses video and interactive content to help inspire kindness to animals in pupils aged 7 -11.
Speakers in Schools
Talks in school assemblies can be an effective way of spreading the word about being kind to animals - and inspiring a future generation of compassionate animal advocates.
Teacher Training
Our Teacher Training sessions help teachers to educate primary school children about animals and their welfare needs.
