We’re excited to be introducing students from years I and II at a Berkshire school to the story of the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp on the 18th June.

We’ll be providing two 90 minute workshops for different year groups, which will explore the lessons we can learn from Greenham Common Peace Camp and reflect on what the changes are that we would like to see in the world today.

Create a safe space for students to build on their team work and trust as a group through drama games including role play and hot seating, physical and weight bearing games, and forum theatre exercises
Highlight the history of the Greenham Common Peace Camps as the largest women’s led movement since suffrage
Allow students a creative space to consider the issues that are important to them and the change they would like to see in the world
Encourage students to appreciate the impact they have on their society, culture and community and show them how their behaviours can create positive change and environments
A craftivism exercise will allow students to work collaboratively on a creative manifesto which explores the causes that are important to students today and the changes they would like to see to support those causes

Would you like something like this for your school? We have developed a range of workshops for primary and secondary schools which will start conversations about ways in which girls can access their personal and collective power, and where boys can absorb non-violent ways of communication, allowing them to go against the cultural norms, learning to respect women and girls.
