School Workshops
Explore Africa Series
Workshops run throughout the year as we believe Black History is not confined to just one month.
Our workshops for schools explore Africa's people, places and past in an interactive and engaging way.
They are:
-
packed with stories and activities
-
delivered at an appropriate level for each key stage
-
presented via a brief powerpoint presentation and related activity
-
approx 45mins-1hour in duration
You can select a topic from the list below or we discuss a bespoke theme tailored to your curriculum
