Beyond

Georgia looked at the topic of death, specifically on the impact of death on children, focusing on 7-10 year olds, aiming to break the taboo of talking about death. A multi-faceted project, Beyond runs lessons for children, encouraging them to explore death in a gentle, yet supportive environment. There are activity books, conversation cards, animated lessons with the aim to develop empathy and understanding in children, but spark conversations with the wider family and allow parents access to a free will-writing workshop.

The strategy was really strong and the presentation allowed viewers to see the multiple benefits of Beyond in a clear and sensitive way.
