What if you couldn’t participate in the activities you wanted to, just because you couldn’t use the stairs or weren’t able to see what type of money you were holding?

When we think about sport and the workplace- are we treated differently depending on if we are a girl or a boy or what cultural background we are from? In this episode we discuss the importance of gender and cultural diversity. Plus, learn why girls are just as capable as boys!

How do we deal with losing someone we love? In this episode we discuss the importance of reaching out and talking about how we feel when we experience failure, disappointment or the loss of a loved one.

In the final episode of this season, 12 year old Ariel interviews Sydney Opera House Social Media Specialist Claire and we hear from kids helping to build a new App for young people.  We all know Social Media takes up a lot of kids time and energy and comes with some inherent dangers.  Yet all the kids we spoke to were keenly aware of being safe on the internet and pretty savvy about not relying too heavily on 'likes' to boost their self-esteem. 

Lots of kids take music lessons or learn an instrument at some point in their lives. Some kids practice daily and make music a central focus of life. For almost every kid we spoke to music meant something personal to them.  Hear from Sydney Children's choir about why they make music and what it's like to perform on stage of the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall.

What is Creativity? Is it more than just music or art? Is it the way you see the world and tackle problems?  Our young thinkers define creativity and what it means to them.  Two young parkour trainees interview Dauntless Movement Crew to find out how to tap into their creativity.

School takes up a big part of kids’ lives and while we may hear lots of complaining, most kids – at least those we talk to – say they like learning, in and outside the classroom. In this episode, we visit circus school and hear what kids really think about their education.

This Kid Life is a brand new podcast for kids produced by the Sydney Opera House.  In each episode kids discuss a new topic that affects their lives. 

They start with The Environment.
