With our society continuing to be in the midst of one of the biggest global civil rights movements, Protest; If Not Now, Then When? explores the impact of the Black Lives Matter movement and its place in a tradition of Black people using the power of protest to effect change. The programme aims to encourage young people to understand that you are never too young to make a stand; as a wise man once said – “If not me, then who? If not now, then when?”
This inspirational workshop uses group drama and multi-media to really help children engage with the power of protest.
Learning objectives:
- To gain an understanding of the achievements of some of the most influential black protesters
- To gain an understanding of the impact protest has within the fight against racism.
- To gain an understanding of different kinds of protests
- To explore what we can do to stand up for what is right
Each hour-long workshop caters for a class group of 30 children from KS1 & KS2 pupils.
