Practical African (Gambian) Workshops

Using artefacts and images I am able to offer practical workshops for Key Stage 1 and 2 based on my personal experience of The Gambia and its schools, developing global awareness.

Options include:-

  • Joining me on my journey, seeing the changing landscape, climate and culture
  • Hands on experience with a range of artefacts.
    • What do they tell us about life in The Gambia?
    • Picture packs of the artefacts - yours to keep for follow up and display
    • Considerations of artefacts we would choose to represent UK life to a Gambian child
  • Experiencing School Life
    • Pupils discover what Gambian schools are like as they learn some basic numbers and songs in Mandinka - the Gambian way
  • Role play and dressing up -eg visit a market and use real Gambian money
  • 'Put me in the picture' activity - empathising with a Gambian child
  • An African Dance Session with authentic West African music

Available in Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire
