Black History Month Workshops
This October, bring powerful stories to life in your school with Freshwater’s engaging Primary School Black History Month workshops.
From exploring the lives of Black British trailblazers to journeying through African folklore and the Windrush voyage, our Primary School Black History workshops are designed to captivate your pupils while deepening their understanding of significant figures, historical events and Caribbean and African cultures.
Keep scrolling to explore all available Black History Month workshops. Sessions are available for Early Years, KS1 and KS2. We regularly deliver these in primary schools and libraries.
Brilliant experience for the children. They learnt so much more from having a hands on workshop [and] all took something different away from the session.
