Explore ‘British Values’ at the museum, using elements of our fascinating collection for inspiration and the stories of individuals and their actions to understand this complex curriculum topic.
Students will:
• Discuss democratic values
• Investigate the importance of the rule of law
• Appreciate mutual respect for all faiths and none
• Learn about the defence of individual liberties
This inspirational workshop focuses on key characters from the history of the Green Howards regiment who, through their bravery and sacrifice, have helped to shape the nation in which we live. Using our unique museum collection, students can examine the complex issue of British Values by exploring themes such as service, loyalty and diversity. Stories about ordinary people undertaking extraordinary actions, obeying rules and questioning authority are used to promote discussion and debate.
Scenario-based learning promotes an understanding of British Values and provides pupils with the opportunity to learn how to defend a reasoned point of view.
