What is World Friendship Ambassadors?

WFA is an online group peer mentoring platform for primary schools, led by children for children. It builds pupil leadership, friendship, kindness and whole-school wellbeing through creative video-based learning. 

At the heart of WFA is Adrian Benn, Bigfoot’s Senior Educator with nearly 20 years of experience. Through three specially designed modules — Positive Communication, Healthy Relationships and Feeling Good,  Adrian guides WFA mentors in a fun, inclusive workshop-style format that links directly to your school’s RSHE curriculum.

Affordable and Easy to Run

WFA is low-cost, child-led and simple to deliver. Once your mentors are trained, the programme runs with minimal staff time while creating a lasting impact across your school. The average cost for an entire year of WFA in your school is comparable to the cost of a single teacher agency supply day. That's real value!
