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 5 – 7 pm and will be held at the NSW Teachers Federation, 23-33 Mary Street, Surry Hills. Light refreshments and finger food will be available in a ‘pub style’ setting.

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.
