Step into the gripping world of Boy 87, where courage meets injustice and friendship defies fear. In this session, students will explore Ele Fountain’s powerful portrayal of a young boy forced to flee his home, navigating detention, escape, and hope. Through guided discussion, creative reflection, and empathy-building activities, we’ll unpack themes of displacement, resilience, and the right to belong. Expect thought-provoking questions, real-world connections, and a chance to imagine what freedom means—across borders and within ourselves.
