You may have been to a “Comedy in the Pub”, or a Trivia Night, this event – although not in a pub – aims to recreate the same sort of relaxed atmosphere.
This event will provide an opportunity for those interested in Women’s activism and reclaiming (in)visible women in both a context of the NSW History curriculum, and the Federation History to learn more of the past. It will provide a ‘social’ forum to interact with an expert panel of experienced historians and history teachers, and to network with likeminded colleagues.
The event will run from 4 – 6 pm and will be held at the AEU ACT branch, Level 1, 71 Leichhardt Street, Kingston, 2604. Light refreshments and finger food will be available in a ‘pub style’ setting.
The event is free but booking is essential. Please click here to register.
If you are interested in this event you may also be interested in attending Women in History: Reclaiming (In)Visible Women, a professional learning course exclusively for Federation members.
