What we offer

Our work is created and delivered by scholars and uses primary sources to encourage students to engage meaningfully with the past.

We deliver free workshops to secondary school students around the UK. Our sessions tie in with the National Curriculum.

Jewish migration to Britain 1066 – present

Covering roughly 1,000 years of history, this workshop focuses on why Jewish people migrated to Britain, where they came from, what their lives were like here and what their impact has been. This programme is supported by a grant from The Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) and The Gerald and Gail Ronson Family Foundation. This is perfect as an overview or revision session for the GCSE papers on migration to Britain.

British Responses to Jewish Refugees in the 1930s

Following a Jewish refugee couple’s journey from Austria, this workshop explores routes for refugees from Nazi Europe and introduces the Kitchener Camp scheme. Using primary sources, we explore a range of responses to and perspectives on Jewish refugees in Britain. Teachers often find this workshop helpful for teaching on the Holocaust, to tie in with Holocaust Memorial Day (January) and for Refugee Week (June).

Jews and the British Suffrage Movement

How did the small minority community of British Jews engage with the fight for universal suffrage in Britain in the early twentieth century? In this workshop we use primary sources to explore Jewish responses to and involvement with the suffragettes and suffragists.

The primary sources were brilliant! A good mix of written and photographic sources meant that all students were able to access the content of the session.
