Led by Hera, the Greek Goddess of Women, this KS1 and KS2 Inspiring Women workshop will introduce you to extraordinary women throughout history and explore their contributions: adventurous and pioneering women, women in the arts, women in politics, and women in science!

In this interactive drama workshop, you will visit different locations and time periods, and you will explore the lives of:

Rosa Parks – an American activist in the civil rights movement, known for her role in the Montgomery bus boycott.
Frida Kahlo – a Mexican painter known for her self-portraits and art works. Her art style explored questions of identity, gender and race in Mexican society.
Amelia Earhart – aviation pioneer and author, the first female aviator to fly solo over the Atlantic Ocean.
Edith Cavell – a British nurse in WWI who is celebrated for saving the lives of soldiers from both sides without discrimination.

(Our KS1 and KS2 Inspiring Women workshop is also available featuring suffragette Emily Davison).
