Circle of Life Award

The Circle of Life Award has been set up by Disney Theatrical Productions in partnership with Young Citizens to shine a light on and celebrate some of the amazing work young people do to make a positive contribution to their community.

This project aims to capture the values of Disney’s The Lion King and to inspire our youngest citizens to become the next generation of community leaders.

Whether you are already committed to supporting young people’s community involvement and social action or looking to kick-start your school’s efforts, we are here to help you. Access the free resources now.

“The Circle of Life Award provides children and young people with a safe and supported structure through which they can demonstrate kindness, compassion and thoughtful citizenship.”

Nina Moore, Head teacher, Full Circle Education

 

Start a social action project

Want to set up a social action project? We have created a set of resources to get you started.

The Circle of Life resources consist of six sessions (three teacher-led resources and three student-led) designed to empower young people to deliver a social action project that addresses an issue in their community.

You decide if you want to use the full-set of resources or just choose the activity sheets that help your students’ project. Download the resource pack now.
