Inspiring pupils through science, storytelling and discovery
Humanimal Trust school talks and lessons – FREE CLASSES SUITABLE FOR PRIMARY TO LOWER SECONDARY
Humanimal Trust offers engaging, curriculum-linked school talks and workshops that help children explore the fascinating connections between human and animal health through the concept of One Medicine. Using ideas inspired by the fabulous children’s books, ‘Humanimal’ and ‘We Are All Animals’, our sessions encourage pupils to think differently about science, medicine, nature and their place in the wider world.
Our sessions are interactive, age appropriate and tailored to support learning across:

Every child receives a Humanimal Trust Certificate of Participation to celebrate their learning, recognising their understanding of One Medicine and their commitment to the idea that we are all animals.
