These learning materials do not require the teacher or learner to have read the plays in Beasts and Beauties or to have seen the theatre production. They comprise several short tasks with key questions and resources, including worksheets and a selection of video clips focusing on issues related to human rights and children's rights.

The materials are available in downloadable PDF or in Word files that you can tailor to your own requirements. The activities can be used singly following the lesson introduction or as part of a more developed unit on conflict and conflict resolution.
