The theme this year is Past, Present and Future. Interviews with the Elders and pioneers of the Black Supplementary Schools movement have been encouraged up and down Britain to record the history of who, what, where and why educational organisations were set to target Black children in Britain. In these times of severe governmemt cuts, we will look into what the future holds and how Black supplementary schools supplement life skills and not just academia.

The National Black Supplementary School Week is about taking the education of our children into our own hands, and giving a more prominent position to Black supplementary schools. As centres for our children’s, and sometimes parents, learning they must be highlighted, collectively valued and brought to the forefront.

During the course of the National Black Supplementary School Week 2011, running from 11am Sunday 21st to Saturday 27th August, NABSS has organised a series of workshops, seminars, debates and events that will specifically look at issues pertaining to education of Black children, and their parents and their relationships.

The week’s events have been sponsored by the Centerprise Trust, The Mighty Men of Valour, Just Leverage, Keeping The Faith Magazine, NABRU, Black Youth Achievement Awards, Afruca, Brent Council, Black History Walks, Golden Destiny, Opportunities to Success, Nubian Jak, the 100 Black Men of London, Omega Radio and more.

Full details of the workshops, main room events and additional workshops can be found on the NABSS website: www.nabss.org.uk.
