Feeling Good is an innovative resource to help pupils explore their own lives in comparison with a Maasai family in Kenya. It aims to encourage students to feel good about themselves and their peers, to acknowledge and celebrate similarities and differences in the classroom and beyond.

Through participatory activities students cover topics such as daily life, food, clothes, houses and homes, and change.

  • Background information
  • How we feel about ourselves
  • Introducing the Maasai
  • The lifestyle of the Maasai people
  • Art, craft and design
