Freedom Day
It is becoming increasingly recognised that history is not solely about the past but is about the present. With this ethos in mind, each year in January, with the funding of De Montfort university, we celebrated Freedom Day! Freedom day seeks to ensure that the future generation get to understand their history. Our examination of freedom included freedom from discrimination, freedom of speech, personal freedoms and continuing struggles towards freedom.
In previous years we have sought to express the conversation of the various aspects of Freedom through live events including marches, workshops and presentations.
Kainé and De Montfort university have been working in partnership to develop educational programmes and events to benefit young people in Leicester. This has culminated into the Freedom Day event, which provides a taste of university
life to Year 9 and 10 students as well as supporting them in the field of work and careers advice for young people.
If you are a school/college and are seeking to your pupils in attending this event please contact us at info@kainemanagement.org.uk
