Each session will include a reflection on the impact of Localism on the teaching of Black Histories in Greater Manchester, as well as interactive learning activities that will introduce participants to the unique history of Z-Arts – organisation that aims “to inspire and enable generations of young people from across Manchester and beyond to use creativity to reach their potential”. (Very few people are aware that the foundation stone of Z-Arts building was laid in 1911 by a man born in the Carribean. His twin sister founded “one of the finest libraries in the world”).
