SCHOOL WORKSHOPS
The Herstory Education Trust invites primary and secondary schools to participate in a treasure hunt workshop to find lost women’s stories in their families, community and the diaspora.
Students will learn about the heroines of the Northern Irish Peace Process and the '#FridaysForFuture’ marches, inspiring each classroom to create their own heroic team to champion a cause close to their hearts.
In the power workshop, students explore how to create an inclusive, multi-cultural community and how to run a progressive government. Teachers are recommended to read this chapter about the Expressions of Power from the handbook A New Weave of People Power and Politics.
Teachers are introduced to the Royal Irish Academy’s Dictionary of Irish Biography - accessible for free to all schools via Scoilnet - which features the biographies of over 1000 fascinating women’s stories from across the island of Ireland.
The lesson plans are designed to integrate with the History, English, Art, CSPE, Politics and I.T. modules in the school curriculum. The aim of the workshop is to instil a curiosity and value for every woman’s story. No man or woman’s story is more important than another. This is equality.
This is a legacy project and a permanent digital educational resource that will give students and the public awe-inspiring female role models for generations to come.
