Resources

DEEL has a wide range of artefacts and resources available to buy and to loan.

Using artefacts and resources within the classroom is a great way to bring topics to life to engage pupils and, when used sensitively, can also inspire critical thinking, exploration of values and challenging of stereotypes.

We are constantly reviewing and updating our collection to ensure we have resources available for all key stages, sixth form and adults.

Our work incorporates a variety of visual, interactive and experiential learning methods including storytelling, drama, group work, role plays, interpreting photos, questioning & discussion and has been specifically designed to enable young people to:

• Develop a sense of themselves as part of a wider world and of different cultures and places.
• Learn about the similarities and differences between people and places around the world and about disparities in the world.
• Develop their sense of social justice and moral responsibility.
• Begin to understand that their own choices can affect global issues as well as local ones.

If you are unable to do your own buying we are happy to put together a Sale or Return box for you at any time on request.
