August Riots: Who? Why? What Now?
A great number of young people in London will have been affected by the Riots which took place in the capital during the summer holidays. Whether they were personally involved, watched the footage on TV or have seen the aftermath in their home towns, they are likely to have strong opinions on what took place and need a positive forum in which to air their perceptions and views of these events.
Bigfoot has created a workshop programme suitable for KS2, 3 and 4 which allows young people to explore the issues surrounding the riots in a safe environment, ensuring that they are informed of the facts and will leave the workshop feeling more positive about their own ability to cope with such social upheaval events in the future.
The one hour workshop will explore:
· Fact vs fiction and media hype
· The different factors that caused the riots
· Who was involved and what did they do
· How we can prevent the riots from happening again
· Coping strategies for difficult situations
· Positive strategies for change
Half Day: £175 (maximum of three workshops)
Full Day: £250 (maximum of five workshops)
**A remodelled version of this programme is also being used within our Creative Supply Services, where you can book a day or half day to cover your planned absences at a standard supply rates. Contact your local office for further details**
