An introduction to the Transatlantic Slave Trade, life on a sugar plantation and Harewood’s connection to this challenging history.

Content Warning

This workshop includes references to historical events of a sensitive nature. As much information has been included as possible that is suitable for KS2 and KS3 pupils.

Documentation from our archive and objects from the collection may include vocabulary and imagery created and used by societies in which very different attitudes and behaviours were normalised.

We understand that some students may find the collection and its context challenging and upsetting and we will do our best to support you.

If you have any specific questions or would like to discuss this session in more detail please contact the team on learn@harewood.org.
