International Women's Day Festival 2020

On Saturday 7th March 2020 we are coming back to Blackpool 6th Form, with a bigger and brighter Festival, developing and enhancing the 2019 Festival, based on the amazing feedback. We have 30 role models each with their own unique story to tell. The role models are our Living Libraries. Each of their stories will be linked to a particular field and displayed all day for people to read their journey.

International Women’s Day 2020 campaign theme:

#EachforEqual

An equal world is an enabled world.

Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day.

We can actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, broaden perceptions, improve situations and celebrate women’s achievements.

Collectively, each one of us can help create a gender equal world.

Let’s all be #EachforEqual.
