Wicked launches online education resource

Award-winning stage musical Wicked has launched virtual education resource platform Wicked Active Learning.

The web-hosted resource bank has been created with teachers, featuring free lesson plans, career videos and a 20-page guide to assist the planning of education trips.

The platform also features anti-bullying resources developed in partnership with the Anti-Bullying Alliance, with Diversity, Inclusion and Wellbeing resources developed in partnership with Twinkl.

Through using the platform, school classes and year groups can save over 60 per cent on Wicked tickets and are given flexible payment timeframes. Schools are also offered optional workshops or Q&As with their booked trips.

Michael McCabe, UK executive producer of Wicked, said: ‘Our story of identity, prejudice, propaganda, and friendship continues to resonate strongly with schools, and we are grateful to the many teachers whose invaluable contributions and guidance have helped shape these lesson plans and resources, as well as for their shared vision and passion to deliver quality arts education and engagement for all.’
