Local Artists and World Voices to support Black History Month

NEAD maintains a network of contacts with artists and performers who can do schools' work - musicians, storytellers, puppeteers, dancers, artists and craftspersons and others - as well as people who can come into schools/other settings to run workshops related to Black History. These sessions

Most of these facilitators are professionals and will therefore require a fee. A few are volunteers and will run sessions for expenses only. You should contact them as far in advance as possible, allowing at least one month before the visit. You can find more information on the websites below and can contact the artists directly to arrange workshops.
