RESOURCES
We are always working hard to create free and exciting resources, updating this page as often as we can. Scroll down for activities your girls can enjoy at home or at school.
If there is anything specific you need from us please just get in touch. We are hoping our 'at home festival pack' full of activities, ideas and designs for your own festival will be ready soon.

Past, present and future activity!
We've created a really fun activity to help young people learn more about the history of gender inequality, how it is impacting us now, and what they can do for their future.
​
Here is a presentation that can be used in class (see last page for notes on activities), and posters you can print. We ran these activities with over 100 girls and boys at festivals last summer and they loved it, we hope your pupils do too. ​
'Gender stereotypes are limiting children's potential and causing lifelong harm.'
The Commission, established by The Fawcett Society, has released the report, Unlimited Potential, which shows just how much gender stereotypes in early childhood are limiting our children. Focused on children from 0-7 years of age this report reinforces just how important it is to engage and inspire girls of Primary school age.

We just love the Body Happy Org. They are dedicated to helping adults create positive body image environments for children to thrive in. They've created brilliant digital and physical resources and products, workshops and online courses. They are a one-stop shop for all things body image boosting, helping us grown-ups to create a kinder culture of body love and acceptance for the children in our care.
Our Streets Now had two of the most popular videos watched at our 2020 festival, Dare to Dream and feminist consent dance video and tutorial. They are now doing even more by sharing their resource pack to help you learn about public sexual harassment and how to tackle it, as part of their Our Schools Now Project.
