School Resources

This material is for teachers and other education providers to help them deliver materials associated with educational presentations produced by the Prejudice and Solidarity Archived Throughout History (PATH) Project.  

Purpose of the PATH Lesson Plans and attached materials is to increase awareness of LGBT+ and Minority Ethnic History in classrooms of secondary schools, promotion of inclusive and diverse learning environment and increase engagement of young people in local history and heritage. 

PATH Lesson plans contain three modules: 
  • Love and the Poetry of Bessie Craigmyle  
  • Transgender Histories – Aberdeen, Scotland, and the UK 
  • Pride of Aberdeen – LGBT+ Prejudice, Solidarity and Activism 

These are to be used separately and can be used in any order based on preferences of the educator. Presentations are built to be applied for teaching History, but can also be used in English, Politics, Social Sciences and Media Studies. 

PATH Lesson plans are intended to be used for classes S2 and above, as the subject matter is to be approached with both sensitivity and a level of previous knowledge in text comprehension and discussion.
