Evolving Identities & Navigating Cultures

The Aga Khan Academies (AKA) work to develop curriculum units that are relevant to their students in Bangladesh, India, Kenya and Mozambique. This resource has been developed as part of a collaborative project between the Academies and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) to develop curriculum units for use in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes.

This well-being unit on identity encourages students to reflect on the extent to which human experience is shaped by a range of encounters and experiences, that in turn shape identity. The unit, which may be taught as a series of linked learning experiences or as one-off lessons, encourages students to reflect on and take pride in their multiple personal identities and also celebrate some of the many common universal characteristics that connect individuals with those around us.
