Common Ground is an opportunity for your school to find out more about the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp and to take inspiration from the thousands of women who stood up for what they believed to consider what causes are important to your learners today.
We’re looking for primary, secondary, SEND, PRU and educated otherwise groups from across the country to join us as we explore the impact of Greenham Common 40 years on.
This is an opportunity for you and your learners to:
Join us for a free online workshop or Q&A, build a Wall of Hope in your school or interview your local community to see that they remember about Greenham Common – your school project can be big or small. We’ll be inviting your learners to create their own manifesto that declares their aims for the future they want.
We’ll be adding all research, manifestos and projects submitted by February the 12th 2024 to our archive so your project will live on, inspiring future learners as we reflect on the impact the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camps have had on our lives.
Find out more about our Key Stage specific programmes.
This opportunity is open to learners from KS1-KS5 in a range of settings including primary, secondary, SEND, PRU and educated otherwise groups.
We’re open for schools to register their interest now!
Schools should be aiming to start their projects from September 2023 and run them throughout the Autumn term and Spring term.
We’ll be delivering a series of online CPD and information sessions to help you develop your project and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
The deadline for submissions to be included in our archive is the 12th February 2024.
This project is open to all learners from KS1-KS5 and we’d love as many of your learners to take part as possible so you can run this project with a single class, a whole year group, a whole key stage or a whole school. The more the merrier!
Why not use an assembly to introduce Greenham Common to your whole school?

The Impact Tree is our online hub where you’ll find resources and archive links to help you develop your project.
It’s been designed to help us track the impact of Greenham Common as the Greenham Women returned to their communities as well as the impact on your young people as they uncover stories from the camps themselves.
We will also be mapping all the schools and groups who take part in Common Ground and adding some of your research and projects so you’ll be able to see your work uploaded in the Spring term 2024.
