Best Days is a new story-based primary course for students aged 7-10 in which cross-cultural aspects facilitates children's learning process. In each level of Best Days, learners will join the activities and adventures of different groups of multi-cultural characters in each month of the year. Learning about different cultures teaches children to value differences, but also helps to accentuate how we are all alike. The everyday situations portrayed in the Best Days stories will help children appreciate similarities when they compare the lives of the characters with their own. In Best Days, children will celebrate their differences and similarities with each other! In Level 1, some episodes show typical everyday activities such as playtime, show and tell, the Green Week or Space Week, which take place in a British primary school. Others are based around specific festivals such as Easter or Christmas. In Level 2, the stories move into the wider community, giving the chance to introduce learners to values and social attitudes, as well as different cultural events. In Level 3, children will meet The Bests, a British family travelling in their van for a year, learning about various cultures and festivals around the world.
