Our programme of school workshops gives pupils unique access to the collections stored at Black Cultural Archives. Each workshop is targeted at a specific age group, ranging from EYFS to Key Stage 5.

We offer seminars and workshops for both undergraduate and graduate groups, which give access to our historically and culturally significant collections.

We welcome visits from staff groups. A talk and tour for your team will give a broad overview of Black British History, as well as the history of the area and local Black activism. Your team also has the opportunity to handle archival items from our collections at Black Cultural Archives.

Upper Key Stage 3 Lessons Plans and Video

This series of four lesson plans and five interviews focuses on the significance and resonance of the Brixton Uprisings in 1981 and 1985, and the subsequent uprisings related to them.

Interviewed by Year 9 students from The Charter School North Dulwich and The Charter School East Dulwich, each interview features oral testimony from interviewees, who each hold a unique perspective on the Uprisings.

The aim is to engage young people in the process of active historical research and to take the lead in uncovering local history.

Leading Barristers Chambers, 5 St. Andrews Hill (5SAH) have curated a video-podcast called, Black Futures: The Legal Perspective, which gives a legal outlook on important topics in support of Black Cultural Archives.
