Back at Devonport High School

Over two inspiring days, the A Fairer World team delivered the Hobart Human Library Inclusion Forums focused on storytelling to seven classes, working with 3 Grade 8 classes and 4 Grade 7 classes.

As part of our ongoing partnership with Devonport High School, which we visit every two years, students explored how stereotypes, discrimination and assumptions can impact individuals and communities.

Through listening to stories, participating in activities and spending time on reflection, students are changed by the event and walk away with practical tips on inclusion. Students said
• “I won’t judge people so quickly.”
• “I will take a moment to consider that I don’t know the whole story.“
• “Believe people with disability and be curious.”

Thank you to the staff and students for welcoming us back and for contributing so openly to these important conversations. We look forward to returning in the future!

It was a pleasure delivering our Diversity Matters Everyone Matters program to Westerway Primary School.

Students were curious, engaged and asked fantastic questions to our human ‘books’, creating meaningful conversations about diversity, inclusion, empathy and understanding.

We were also impressed by the thoughtful work students put into creating their very own eBook, reflecting on what they learned and sharing their ideas about what it means to create a community where everyone feels valued, respected and included.

A huge thank you to our human 'books', the students and staff for embracing the program and helping bring the message of inclusion to life!

A huge thank you to the Tasmanian Community Fund for supporting this work.

Teachers Matter. Stories Matter. Every Student Matters.

What happens when teachers hear powerful stories directly from people with lived experience?

At Westerway Primary School educators recently took part in A Fairer World's Teachers Matter professional learning program, delivered in partnership with the Hobart human library.

Through honest conversations and real-life stories, teachers explored new ways to bring empathy, inclusion and resilience into their classrooms.

One teacher shared:
"The differing perspectives have taught me to value others and their lived experiences."

Another reflected:
"It is valuable to hear first-hand accounts rather than a third party telling you what they think someone needs."

Now it's the students' turn. They'll begin the Diversity Matters, Everyone Matters program through storytelling, hands-on activities and creating their own book about diversity and inclusion.

A huge thank you to the Tasmanian Community Fund for supporting this work.

Our Bunnings Warehouse Australia sausage sizzle on Sunday was a huge success!

A massive thank you to everyone who came out to see us, grabbed a sausage and supported A Fairer World.

We’re also incredibly grateful to our amazing staff and volunteers who helped on the day and behind the scenes to make it all happen.

And a huge thank you to Juicy Isle, Banjo's Bakery Cafe Glenorchy and Coles New Town for their generous donations towards our BBQ essentials. Your support means so much! 💙

The A Fairer World team had a fantastic time delivering an Inclusion Forum at Rosny College recently.

Through the stories of our human ‘books’, students explored what it can feel like to experience exclusion, as well as the impacts of unconscious bias, limited understanding of diversity and the importance of empathy.

Students were highly engaged, asking thoughtful, curious and considerate questions, which our human ‘books’ answered with honesty, positivity and wisdom.

One student reflected: “I learnt it’s important not to make assumptions, especially negative ones.” Another said, “It’s not just about recognising inclusion, it’s also about taking action.”

These sessions give young people a valuable opportunity to listen, learn and connect through lived experience - helping to build empathy, challenge assumptions and break down barriers.

Inclusion Forum funded by Department for Education, Children and Young People, delivered by A Fairer World, and are designed to teach students and teachers about inclusion and diversity through the power of storytelling.
