This on-line resource introduces teachers (and club leaders) to the use of drama, based around the transatlantic slave trade. It shows how drama can be used effectively with young people to learn about slavery, and to explore sensitive issues arising from our history.
The resource pack is based on a project that took place in Glasgow and South Lanarkshire, involving pupils from two primary schools and a youth group (see Case Study). It demonstrates how drama contributes to the principles of the Curriculum for Excellence.
Specific support is provided for creating workshops and performances, along with background information on the slave trade.
The Workshops described are suitable for young people aged 10 years upwards.
