This is a series of free teaching resources to introduce topical issues on the theme of 'children in conflict' in primary and secondary schools. Each lesson plan includes background information for teachers and briefing sheets with activities for students. The resources are cross-curricular and suitable for citizenship teaching and other subjects such as media studies, geography, history and drama. The materials offer flexible lesson plans for individual activities, discussions and project work. Please credit the British Red Cross.
