Bonded labourer loading a truck at a charcoal making camp, Brazil. 1. Introduction seCTIon A In 2007 many schools marked the 200 th anniversary of the abolition of the British Transatlantic slave trade through assemblies, projects, displays and events. slavery was treated as an episode in history that must be remembered, and its abolition presented as an inspiring story from which students could learn values of freedom, equality and respect for human dignity. But slavery is not confined to history. It has not disappeared. Rather it has disappeared from view. Article 4 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms that “no one shall be held in slavery or servitude” and slavery is now outlawed in every country. But as many as 27 million people, spread over nearly every continent, endure forms of treatment today that merit the term “slavery” just as surely as the slavery practised in 1807. Many victims of contemporary slavery are young people – the same age as those taught in schools in england and Wales. What is in the pack? This education pack, which has been produced through a collaboration between the International slavery Museum in Liverpool and the Wilberforce Institute for the study of slavery and emancipation, University of Hull, provides: • background information on contemporary forms of slavery • a set of lesson plans with supporting materials • a list of resources that can help with researching further information. It is supported by an online resource at www.slaverytoday.org.uk Why has the pack been created? The pack has been produced with particular reference to the teaching of Citizenship within the national Curriculum of england and Wales. We hope it will also be used beyond these borders among students aged 10-14. Citizenship teaching in england and Wales is a vehicle which enables young people to learn about the institutions that take decisions affecting society, and shows them that they can play an active role in this process now and in the future. It informs them about issues of social justice, highlights the importance of human rights and responsibilities, and provides tools to engage young people in taking informed action in response to current events.
