In this film we meet Jackson and Rory, two boys who live in different parts of Northern Ireland, and they tell us about the way they live. We learn about the differences they have and also about the many things that they share in common.

By the end of the programme and activities, pupils should:

• be aware of some of the differences between living in an urban situation and a rural one.
• be more aware of how different people live in Northern Ireland - in particular how housing differs and how families have different lifestyles.
• understand that people living in different communities also have different values and traditions.
• understand that for different communities in Northern Ireland sport is an important tradition, especially within families, and is part of their "culture".
• be aware that while people may live in different areas and communities and have different traditions - that they have many things in common.
• be aware of how we all rely on each other, especially within a family
  situation.
• be aware of some of the issues that affect the physical, social and mental well being of people.
• understand the need for interdependence of people in the community.
