Black History Workshops

This autumn, we’re excited to introduce our latest Black History workshop . . . Breaking Barriers: Black British History Makers. This workshop shines a spotlight on influential Black figures, past and present, to inspire your students with their remarkable stories and lasting impact.

Our popular workshops are still available . . . Join the adventurous Time Traveller in exploring the significant moment of the Empire Windrush’s arrival in British history. Additionally, you can delve into Caribbean and African cultures with our Storytelling and Geography workshops.

Workshops are available for Early Years, KS1 and KS2. We regularly deliver these workshops in primary schools and libraries.

The whole experience provided many questions from the children. It really was a case of history being brought to life
