What You Will Learn

Recognise how important it is to treat people fairly no matter who they are.
Understand how exclusion, judgement, and discrimination can affect people, and why inclusion is important.
Reflect on real-life situations where people may experience unfair treatment and understand why it is important to treat everyone with respect.
Watch Before You Begin
Watch the video carefully and think about the message being shared.
Pay attention to how the lyrics show confidence, identity, and standing up against negative treatment, and why it is important to include and respect everyone.
The circus performers have been treated as outsiders, including a bearded woman and other people who are judged for being different. At first, they feel rejected and ashamed, but they come together, support each other, and grow in confidence. By the end, they stand proudly as a group, showing self-acceptance, inclusion, and strength.
