Stolen Lives is a thought-provoking collaborative educational project which looks at the issues of historical and contemporary slavery through a combination of music, songs, words, images, film and animation. The project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council with support from the Wilberforce Institute for the study of Slavery and Emancipation (WISE) at the University of Hull.
 
It aims to raise awareness of modern-day slavery, human trafficking and trans-global child labour issues, thereby helping to inform todays’ (and tomorrow’s) anti-slavery campaigners by providing them with an engaging vibrant tool to help the fight against modern slavery.

This free resource will not only be of use to schools, especially KS3 & 4, but also to youth groups, museums, music and dance groups, and churches and faith groups. The project is also interactive.

We hope that users will post their own performances or interpretations of the material we have put together, allowing for a much broader sharing of ideas and practice. 

We look forward to seeing what you come up with!
