Web of Lives Series – Inclusive PSHE & Resilience Card Toolkit for Teachers
🌐 **The Web of Lives Series.** **How It Works**
The series is designed to help young people explore identity, diversity, resilience, and relationships through interactive card packs. Each set tackles a different theme, but they all interlink to create a web of understanding about how our lives connect and how choices impact ourselves and others.
🛡️ **Protected Characteristics Pack**
🌱 **Values & Identity Pack**
🚫 **Bullying & Online Safety Pack**
❤️ **Sex & Relationships Pack**
🪞 **Mirror/Offender Pack**
💪 **Mental Health & Resilience Pack**
📖**Backstory Cards**
🔗 How They Link Together
Think of the series as a spider’s web:
Protected characteristics form the anchor points.
Values & identity are the threads that define each person.
Bullying & online safety and sex & relationships show challenges in interactions.
Mirror/offender packs highlight consequences and accountability.
Mental health & resilience strengthen the web so it doesn’t break under pressure.
Backstory cards weave it all together, showing how every strand connects to real lives.
👉 In short: The Web of Lives Series is an integrated toolkit where each pack builds empathy, resilience, and respect, while connecting learners to the bigger picture of diversity, relationships, and wellbeing.
🌐 The Web of Lives Series — Extended with Learner Reflections
The Web of Lives isn’t just about exploring protected characteristics, values, bullying, resilience, and relationships through cards. It’s about students actively weaving their own voices, empathy, and reflections into the web.
🔄 Reflection Exercises
🕸️ In Sum — Creating the Web of Lives
Through cards, letters, affirmations, backstories, and reflections, learners literally and metaphorically weave a web:
A web of empathy, showing how lives connect.
A web of resilience, built from affirmations and strengths.
A web of accountability, recognizing harm and growth.
A web of hope, showing that change is always possible.
👉 This transforms the Web of Lives Series from a set of teaching resources into a living classroom experience, where learners don’t just study diversity, resilience, and relationships — they practice them together.
