| Make the link, break the chain |
|
What is slavery? What does it mean to be free? How do we safeguard liberty? |
|
These three questions form the central structure of this project and are explored in increasing levels of complexity through the four schemes of work for each key stage. Each scheme consists of four lesson plans and all are accompanied by resources. The lessons are clearly mapped to national curriculum attainment targets. The source material and resources for this project have been developed from the “Make the Link, Break the Chain” development education project. This project linked schools in Brazil, Haiti, Senegal, Sierra Leone and the UK which were all countries on the Triangular Route during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. This horrific and brutal trade had a huge impact on all societies involved and its legacy can be seen today. 25 March 2007 marks the 200th anniversary of the passing of the UK Parliamentary Act which abolished the transatlantic slave trade. However, although slavery was finally abolished in the Americas in 1888, it is estimated that today over 20 million people are still living in some form of servitude. Working using an online community, students began by exploring the history of the transatlantic slave trade before discussing modern forms of slavery and, finally, constructing action points to prevent modern slavery taking place.
