Join us for the upcoming Lit in Colour Teacher Conference 2025, in collaboration with Penguin Books.
This year’s in-person conference offers a rich opportunity for primary and secondary educators to deepen their subject knowledge and strengthen their practice when teaching texts by authors of colour in Britain. The second bi-annual conference is part of Penguin’s ongoing commitment to a more diverse and inclusive English curriculum.
The one-day event will feature:
A keynote speech from Sathnam Sanghera, bestselling author of Empireland, Empireworld, Stolen History, and his forthcoming title Journeys of Empire
Workshops designed for primary, secondary and school librarian audiences
Special access to British Library archive materials that help contextualise novels, plays and poetry
Displays and giveaways, providing a chance to explore new books, resources and materials.
Places are free but limited – book early to avoid disappointment.
