From September 2020

#FridayFact is a new, cross-curricular resource, to support children and young people to consider their identity and sense of the world around them, in relation to colonialism and its legacies.  The resource centres around a newly commissioned online artwork  by artist Holly Graham, with lesson plans and supportive materials for four accompanying workshops to engage KS2 learners in discussion, research and creative enquiry.

Session plans touch on themes of movement and migration, histories and storytelling, sugar and slavery, culinary culture, as well as racism and the Black Lives Matter Movement. The workshops introduce different creative skills (printmaking, painting, creative writing and bookbinding) on a journey resulting in whole class publications.

An online briefing session about the programme, is taking place on the 5th November at 4:30pm. Book tickets here.
