International Slavery Museum’s Legacies of Transatlantic Slavery Workshop
About
During the transatlantic slave trade Liverpool was responsible for the forced migration and brutal enslavement of millions of people. This continued to have a significant social and economic impact on Britain after the trade was abolished.
This workshop will enable students to get hands-on with museum objects, using these unique resources to investigate the connection between the transatlantic slave trade and some of its legacies, from racial segregation in the past to Black Lives Matter today.
As students progress through the activities, they will explore sources that celebrate inspiring examples of individuals and communities who have created positive change. A member of the museum learning team will also help empower students to discuss race and racism in an appropriate and responsible way.
Please note that this is only suitable for Year 5 and 6 pupils from Key Stage 2.
