Mission statement
The Black Curriculum is a social enterprise founded in 2019 by young people to address the lack of Black British history in the UK Curriculum. We believe that by delivering arts focused Black history programmes, providing teacher training and campaigning through mobilising young people, we can facilitate social change.
Our programmes are for all young people aged 8-16 and aims to equip young people with a sense of identity, and the tools for a diverse landscape. We are working towards changing the national curriculum and building a sense of identity in every young person in the UK.
Our aims
As a social enterprise committed to the teaching and support of Black history all year round, our aims include:
1. To provide a sense of belonging and identity to young people across the UK.
2. To teach an accessible educational Black British history curriculum that raises attainment for young people.
3. To improve social cohesion between young people in the UK.
To celebrate Carnival this year, we created a zine! Full of recipes, beautiful art, and educational content about the history behind the costumes, music, food and roots of Europe’s biggest street party: Notting Hill Carnival.
We’ve recently had a very successful and well received teacher training and curriculum consultation, training over 150 staff in the month of September alone! Click below to find out more about our services.
