Peacemakers and the Peace Hub are hosting another free workshop at their premises in central Birmingham. The workshop is for 4 children [KS2] and one adult, two if required.
Workshop dates are Monday 5th November or Friday 9th November, 9:45am - 14:30pm
We will be thinking about the choices people made during WW1, and how those choices influence us today. We will also be thinking about what we can do today to stand up for peace.
The workshop will be interactive and engaging and will hopefully inspire your four young people to go back to school and share their thinking with their peers.
Please return the attached booking form as soon as you can. We have space for 3 schools on each day and priority will be given to schools who have not attended these workshops before.
Vélo Birmingham & Midlands is launching the Vélo Schools 100 Challenge. Taking place in April 2019, school children from across the Midlands are invited to take inspiration from the riders taking on the 100-mile Vélo route on Sunday May 12 and to take on a 100-mile challenge of their own!
There is a flyer attached to this, giving more details about the event.
