Guided by Dada, a mythical being from the West African Yoruba culture, your pupils will discover the remarkable stories of four Black British figures: Jacques Francis, Claudia Jones, Sislen Fay Allen, and Stormzy.
During this Black History workshop, each figure will share their inspiring stories and achievements, shedding light on the often-forgotten contributions of Black people in Britain.
Through interactive storytelling and role play, your pupils will learn about the barriers these individuals overcame and how they contributed to making the world a fairer place.
This workshop is perfect to support year-round learning and Black History Month events (1-31st October).
