Why book 'Identity & Diversity' with Drama Geezers

Embark on an unforgettable journey with “The World and Us”, a captivating storytelling workshop exploring Identity and Diversity, presented by The Drama Geezers, perfect for Black History Month.

Dive into a unique story where a young boy resides on a planet of no identity, setting off on a thrilling adventure that introduces him to an array of fascinating people, places, and cultures.

Join us and fully immerse your class in this enchanting story world where we will celebrate the richness of diversity and the extraordinary in each of us. The story ends in a big celebration with all the children being proud of who they are.

The children finish the session by drawing their self portrait on our huge paper, the perfect whole school piece of art celebrating what makes them unique.

Not only will they be learning about each other and the world they live in but they will be able to creatively express themselves, work together and play.
