What is the aim of the workshops?
Our workshops are designed to give pupils the time and space to explore difficult topics of gender inequality and have critical conversations about them in a structured, safe environment with our experienced and engaging facilitators.
What is the workshop format?
1hr 15 - 1hr 30 | Max 35 Pupils per workshop. Generally we can run 6 workshops in one day (with 2 or 3 workshops running at a time). Our workshops can only be facilitated in person due to the nature of the content and style of facilitation.
What ages are the workshops for?
We use the same format with pupils aged 11-18 however the content of the workshop is tailored to each age group.
Who facilitates the workshops?
Each workshop is led by 2 expert and experienced Bold Voices facilitators. The facilitator role is to support and safeguard pupils during these conversations, ensuring that a space for critical thinking and discussion is maintained throughout the workshop.
Your Sixth Formers can receive Bold Voices training in order to support the Bold Voices facilitators as mentors during workshops with younger pupils. Scroll down for Mentor Workshops info!
