Dynamic Flights
For Refugee Week 2018 we partnered with Why Comics? to create a resource pack for The Croydon Avengers.
Comic book Artist Shane Melisse has illustrated a new comic to introduce our refugee superheroes and we have a series of suggested activities for both Primary and Secondary schools that link to our production. Click on the slideshow below.

THE PLAY BY AWARD WINNING WRITER OLADIPO AGBOLUAJE TOURED TO HARROGATE THEATRE, OVALHOUSE, BLUE ELEPHANT THEATRE AND CROYDON SCHOOLS IN JUNE 2018.
These educational resources can be used with the play or independently to engage students with topics such as identity, discrimination and media presentation. These activities are interdisciplinary and can be used to support learning within subjects such as English, Citizenship, PSHE, Drama, Arts and Design, and Media Studies.
We would like to thank teachers at Central Foundation Girls School and St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School for contributing to the creation of these educational resources.
