Designed for Years 7 and 8, ages 12 to 15, the Social Me Unit focuses on uncovering our ‘social brain’ and how important it is for humans to form connections and tribes through an exploration of the neuroscience of the social brain.  The Unit highlights the responsibility every person has to ensure that everyone’s basic human rights are met with age-appropriate focus on issues such as bullying, cyber-bulling, defending and standing by others, inclusion and diversity.  Easily adaptable to Years 9 and 10.

Contributing positively to the social fabric of your community!

In the SOCIAL ME unit, students explore the ‘tribal’ need that humans have to connect and communicate, and the ‘dark side’ of that human need that causes us to hurt and ostracise others.  They will explore the neuroscience of the social brain and reflect on their own social behaviour at home, at school and in the community.  Students will discover and come to understand that every human has basic human rights and that when everyone is kind, inclusive and embraces the wonderful diversity of humans we live with, the world is a much better place.
