Flashpoint

What is Flashpoint?

A project run by the Royal Armouries museum for small groups of students from schools and communities near our sites in Leeds and Portsmouth.

What does it involve?

During the project students are asked to explore the subject of conflict resolution using discussion, role-play, character building technique and improvisation. The story of Romeo and Juliet is used as a resource to give high school students a basis of character and situation from which to launch their ideas while primary school children work on the story of Robin Hood.
