“He Came Down” Christmas Video
This is a most thought-provoking four-minute video, which can be used as a discussion starter for topics around inclusion and our attitudes towards disability. It features a performance of a Nativity play by disabled children (primarily those with Downs syndrome), and intersperses this with comments from their parents which reveal how their faith has given them new and positive understandings of disability.
The treatment of the issues is highly sensitive; a clear message comes across but in a non-preachy way that will work very well in the classroom.
