Thinking About… Live!

SSLP Student Ambassadors will take it in turns to host Thinking About workshops and talks in their schools for Year 10 and above.

Working with their peers, Ambassadors will put together a series of four guest speakers throughout the academic year. Host schools will welcome visitors from all SSLP schools, and will themselves visit other schools as part of the series. With the help of their teachers hosts will design and lead a workshop exploring the themes of the talk that will follow. Each session will conclude with a Q&A.

The Compass School visiting Dulwich College to hear Baroness Floella Benjamin speak about Black History.
