Peoples Unite

Come and join our immersive game…


Explore the role of culture in community building, activism and ways to resist hate. The game will encourage students to build fictional cultures that are then subject to misrepresentation and discrimination which sparks opportunities to debate the benefits and risks of different resistance movements. At the end of the game, pupils will be asked to reflect on real sources from the time, critically considering how these events would have made migrants feel.

It will include a range of primary source material from topics such as bussing, Indian Workers Association (IWA) strikes, the Huntley’s radical bookshop and the 1979 uprising. The workshop refers to colour bars in local factories and seeks to identify how a small community can have a massive impact, from improved rights and protections to social and cultural exchange such as reggae and bhangra.
