Zack’s Story animations tackle societal issues

Zack’s Story is a series of short stop-motion animations aimed at helping teachers and other educators to raise awareness of issues such as loneliness, hate crime and county lines.

They have been created by United Response, a national charity that supports adults with learning disabilities, mental health needs and physical disabilities across England and Wales.

The animations are suitable for use with secondary and older primary students and are aimed at stimulating discussion in the classroom.

Chapter 1 focuses on loneliness: Zack discovers the importance of friendship and community in overcoming loneliness and finds way to stay connected even during a lockdown.

Chapter 2 focuses on hate crime and county lines issues: Zack’s best friend, Daniel, experiences a hate crime and Zack narrowly avoids getting caught up in a county lines gang.
