Introduction – ARENAS

Stories Matter

Every day, we see stories unfold — in school corridors, online or in the news — where someone might be left out, misunderstood or treated unfairly. But how do we decide what’s fair? And how can small actions make a difference?

This platform helps you explore those questions. Through real-life scenarios, interactive activities and reflection tools, you’ll learn how to break down everyday stories and rebuild them in ways that are more inclusive and fair.

Whether you’re a learner looking to understand different perspectives or an educator guiding students through complex conversations, you’ll find everything here to get started — and to go deeper.

How do we make sure stories are fair? And why should we care?
