DRIVING CHANGE: THE STORY OF NORMAN SAMUELS
Our Windrush storytelling session, featuring personal accounts
such as that of Dave Samuels, son of Norman Samuels—
Bristol’s first Black bus driver. Students will explore
the impact of the Bristol Bus Boycott of 1963, a pivotal
civil rights event in UK history leading to systemic
change and inspiring future generations to challenge
injustice and advocate for equity. This window to the
past allows students to conduct a reflective view and
follow the pattern of change that led to today's culture and
societal views.​
IN THEIR SHOES: THE CHILDREN WHO FOLLOWED
- AND THOSE LEFT BEHIND
This powerful storytelling session brings to light the often-overlooked
experiences of children from the Windrush Generation—those
sent to the UK to reunite with parents or relatives, and those
left behind.
Through three to four deeply personal accounts,
Nadia Lewis-Gorton shares intergenerational stories of
migration, separation, and identity. Students are invited to
step into the shoes of young people who had no choice
in their journey, exploring what it meant to leave
everything familiar behind in the hope of belonging.
​
These lived stories invite empathy, spark reflection, and connect
directly to key themes in the UK curriculum around migration,
identity, and the legacy of empire.
