Schools

Our work is all about empowering and protecting children. So it makes sense that we're also passionate about talking to children in the UK about the brutal effects of war that millions of their peers are living with (and dying from).

What we do:

Schools talks

We offer free visiting speakers to schools in London and the surrounding areas.

Our Schools Officer can deliver tailored assemblies or classroom talks to Primary and Secondary students - all in line with the latest curriculum.

If you'd like someone to come and speak at your school then drop us a line at schools@warchild.org.uk or give us a ring on 020 7916 9276 and ask to speak to Florence.

Teaching resources

We have an exciting set of Citizenship Resources aimed at students in years 9 to 11 that can be downloaded and used within the classroom.

The cohesive resources highlight issues surrounding conflict related poverty. The seven easy to use lesson plans are engaging for teachers and students alike.

Angry Mob

We have a free online education resource site designed by and for young people. Named ‘Angry Mob’ to reflect young people’s feelings of outrage at global conflict, the site is packed with content for both teachers and students.

It provides a great tool for research, discussion and debate around the complex issues of war.
