From the end of the 14th Century the known universe within Europe changed forever, lit up by the Renaissance. New thoughts of belief, existence and science replaced the old picture of the world. Great thinkers and artists created new knowledge and realities and society started to take an interest in free will, education and democracy. Arguably it is these roots that still sustain much of society today. In this enchanting program, we explore the major achievements of this age, meet the major players and trace their influences to modern society. This is an illuminating overview of the Renaissance highlighting its struggles and achievements.

Each and every one of us has personal values that are distinct and different. As we grow, our values develop and change, shaped by our families, peers, culture, role models and the media. In this Australian-made, curriculum fit program we define personal values and explore how they are developed. We see how people and experiences shape our identity and give special attention to positive and negative risk taking and how to cope with conflicting values. The program features volunteers from Big Brothers and Big Sisters, an internationally recognised organisation committed to providing strong role models and mentors for adolescents.

National identity is a complex phenomenon. How a nation is regarded on the world stage is a product of the history, beliefs and virtues that have influenced its character. In this Australian-made, curriculum fit program we explore the national identity of Australia, and the events, people, actions and conflicts that have helped to shape our unique identity. The Director of the National Centre for Australian Studies, Bruce Scates takes us on a journey from a time when our identity was dependent on race, gender and cultural background to the events of the twentieth century that have changed old images and helped shape a new and more inclusive identity.
