The Adventures of Ottobah Cugoano Teaching Pack & In School Programme
Primary Colours marked the 200th Anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade by creating a new educational resource and in-school creative programme aimed at primary aged children and their teachers. This activity will also mark Primary Colours’ 10th anniversary (1997 – 2007). We focused on the life of Ottobah Cugoano, a freed slave who wrote his autobiography and lobbied for an end to slavery in the UK. We developed a teaching pack in the period January – August 2007 and delivered a series of schools-based workshops in the school year September 2007 – July 2008.
