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 -e.g. 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
  • Please contact me for consideration of other areas
