Resource Title
Drought and Migration in Ethiopia
Summary
This resource for primary schools uses drama to explore aspects of life in both rural and urban contexts in Ethiopia. The resource includes a scheme of work, five lesson plans and photocopiable resources that allow teachers to explore the themes of drought and migration with their class.
Drama has the unique capacity of enabling participants to embody unfamiliar contexts and aspects of human experience encountered through Development Education. Through dramatic embodiment, the complexities inherent in development themes and nuanced understandings of these can be captured.
