Dramatising Slavery & Emancipating Students: Learning Beyond the Classroom (CILASS - Central Lancashire): Students researched historical characters involved in the transatlantic slave trade—including both perpetrators & victims – to provide materials for a dramatic tableau to be made freely available online as a pedagogical resource. The students developed the material through field trips to museums and historical sites, meetings with local historians, archivists and curators.
