SCHOOL WORKSHOPS

The Suffragettes

Deeds not Words

Join us as we travel back in time to explore the story of the fight for Women's suffrage. Here your students will experience the emotions of a different time. Where younger students will meet characters from the movement and become a part of their protest, older students will step into their shoes creating their own scenes and characters with props and costumes guaranteed to make them feel like they are from the past. Let's celebrate the centenary of the Representation of the People Act and remember why it meant so much.

If you pick our silver package your students will:

Create scenes based around the movement using appropriate props

Explore the time line of the Suffragette movement and women's fight for equality

Experience what it might have felt like to fight for a vote

Bring historical figures back to life

Have fun!

What do other schools say?

"It was very relevant to the subject and several children fed back about things they had learnt. Several children said it made them think about how the people felt. Facilitators were very well prepared, presented well and all children we engaged throughout. The workshop allowed the children to work together and explore the topic. All children were able to participate regardless of academic levels." - Leiston Primary School, Leiston

All of our workshops can be tailored to suit the needs of your school and are flexible in their length. This means you can have up to FIVE one hour suffragette workshops in a day or a whole day of interactive and in depth fun with one class. Unlike most companies this does not change the price quoted.
