What is inclusion? 

We’re all different but we’re all the same – so let’s all be friends!

This animation was developed especially to speak to kids about inclusion and being different and yet being the same. We hope this message of inclusion will help support conversations about friendship, inclusion and the importance of celebrating diversity in schools, sporting fields and the playground.
