Free teaching resources
We have five free teaching packs, which are made up of innovative lesson plans and accompanying materials. You can browse and download them all via the links below.
If you would like to have hard copies of the packs posted to you (completely free!), please click here.
We can also come to your school and facilitate the lessons ourselves, so that your students can have a fresh perspective and you can take a bit of a break! Find out more here.

Teach Peace
We also have an assembly in this new edition of the Peace Education Network’s pack for Primary, which offers a rich range of lesson activities exploring peace from the inner and interpersonal levels to the national and global.
Lastly, one of our School Speaker volunteers, Bryan, has created a fantastic FAQ page on his blog, to answer some of the key questions about nuclear weapons in an accessible way. Check it out here.
