About this Event
Join us for an evening of powerful, youth-led dialogue centred on culture, education and action. Black History Is British History is the current campaign led by The Black Curriculum’s Young Champions, a group of passionate young people committed to reshaping the way Black British history is taught and understood. This campaign challenges the ongoing exclusion of Black narratives from mainstream education and calls for long-lasting change in how we understand British identity and heritage.
The evening will feature a live debate exploring the realities of white supremacy, the state of the current curriculum, and whether it is fit for purpose. We will also host a panel discussion that interrogates the government's response to calls for curriculum reform and the broader social implications of educational change. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from the Young Champions about their work, their perspectives, and the campaign's journey so far, including exclusive content from their media and outreach initiatives.
This event is a space for critical conversation, connection and community. Attendees will be able to network with The Black Curriculum’s partners, learn how to support the Young Champions campaign, and enjoy a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere with music and refreshments. We invite you to be part of this important moment that amplifies young voices and calls for a curriculum that truly reflects the richness and reality of British history.
