Putting Empathy
Into Action:
PSHE With
Leena & Zach
Bring empathy and understanding to life through immersive audio lessons your pupils will actually connect with.
PSHE with Leena & Zach is a multi-part series of immersive audio adventures that help pupils explore big topics.
Through the ups and downs of two contrasting friends, children tackle issues like mental health, bullying, and online safety head-on. Relatable stories spark reflection, build empathy, and make tough topics easier to discuss.
Each 5-minute episode is part of a 45-minute lesson, immersing pupils in real-life contexts that build empathy and bring depth and authenticity to your PSHE. Help your pupils recognise emotions, practise empathy, and make safer choices in real life.
