GEC KnowHow
GEC KnowHow is the largest collection of inclusion, wellbeing and belonging recommendations of its kind, with more than 500 resources for everyone.
Every recommendation is carefully tagged by identity, theme and area of interest, from female role models, race and religion to STEM, SEND to inclusion and everything in between. And - yes - we have books for our littlest littles to you bigs.
What began as an inclusive booklist has grown into curated playlists featuring books, television programmes, films, podcasts, articles and more. You can also discover work by GEC authors and creators, explore our dedicated Primary and Secondary booklists, and visit the GEC Bookshop, our independent alternative to Amazon. Yes, you can officially bypass Jeff!
GEC Say What?
Say What? is our free animation series, created to make complex ideas about inclusion, identity, belonging and wellbeing simple, accessible and useful for schools. Each short animation explains key language and concepts clearly, helping to build understanding and start meaningful conversations.
