Yesterday we went to Liverpool Cathedral to take part in the Free for All tour marking the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade. Using drama, dance, music and creative workshops, we will explore
the story of the Abolitionist movement and the continuing story of
slavery in the world The event encourages young people in Years 5 – 8 to engage with
issues raised by the Citizenship curriculum (human rights, justice,
freedom and democracy, active citizenship) and will culminate in a full
scale public performance working with professional actors.

They are touring around the country so if you’ve not yet had the chance see if you can get involved.  There is no cost other than the transport to and from the location of the event.  Full details are available on the Free for All page, including (hopefully) pictures of our session.

You can also here interviews with some children that took part on podcast at Trax16, a monthly podcast with some of the free for all team.
