"Some Happy Day is an essential resource for our secondary students that provides a human face to our society’s complex problem of homelessness. Viewing this important film teaches understanding, and encourages kindness and compassion in our young people. It may play a role in a solution for the decision makers of tomorrow."

SOME HAPPY DAY partners with Cool
Cool.Org take real-world issues, including many of the biggest challenges facing humanity, and build lessons that empower students to take action, whilst aligning these lessons to the curriculum.
In May 2024 our 4 lesson unit: Understanding Homelessness Through Film became available in Australian schools for teachers of Yr 9 & 10 English and Social Studies, and Yr 11 & 12 Vocational streams. In collaboration with Cool.org these informed lessons aim to inspire empathy and understanding whilst encouraging out of the box, solution driven thinking to the youth of Australia around the issues of Homelessness.
