With kids back in the classrooms from this week, we speak to educators on how they prepared for 'the day' and what's really happening inside schools right now.

We also turn our attention to ECAs and how centres are adapting to support families during this time.

And on World Book Day, we speak to an author who reads 52 books a year! We focus on the power of reading and why storytelling might be one of the most valuable skills we can teach the next generation.

Growing Up Between Cultures: The Third Culture Kid Experience

What does it mean to grow up between cultures, and how does an international upbringing shape a child’s identity, confidence and sense of belonging? In this episode, we explore the Third Culture Kid experience in the UAE, where children grow up surrounded by diverse nationalities, languages, traditions and perspectives.

Joining us are Mr. Lewis Rattray, Deputy Headteacher Academic at Repton Dubai, and Fatma Suleiman, School Counsellor at Horizon English School. Together, they discuss how multicultural education shapes young people’s ambitions, encourages open-mindedness and builds a global outlook, while highlighting the importance of emotional wellbeing, cultural identity and inclusion from the Early Years through adolescence.

Teenage Trends, Digital Habits

When does technology truly support a child’s learning, and when might a book, a conversation or a pencil be more effective? 

Plus, for World Mental Health Day, we focus on young people as some can be achieving, socialising and apparently coping while privately struggling with anxiety, low mood, loneliness or enormous pressure.
