UKS2

An engaging and thought-provoking workshop providing a pop-up exhibition of diverse migration stories delivered to your classroom for children to explore. Children will begin to understand the concept of unconscious bias and how this can affect migrants and will be challenged to take the pledge to become their own bias detectors! Follow up resources left with the teacher that fit into PHSE Association Programme of Study for KS2 ‘living in the wider world’, plus a ‘bias detector’ badge for each child.
