Loreto High Diversity Team – Our RiseVoiceVote trailblazers!
..’this the place where a Manchester girl, Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side, Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride..’ ‘This is the Place’ by Tony Walsh
We are grateful to the fabulous diversity team at Loreto High for being our RiseVoiceVote trailblazers. The first cohort to participate in the programme they have helped us shape the sessions and the toolkit for others.
And what a brilliant team of young people they are. I can’t wait to see what these young Mancunians achieve. I’ve no doubt they will help change the world for the better, it has been wonderful to work with them #DeedsNotWords
Manchester Enterprise Academy waste no time to get their views heard…
Really impressed by maturity of this group of pupils from Manchester Enterprise Academy. The students formed their own campaign groups around issues they care about working in mixed groups spanning year seven to year nine. Campaign issues included period poverty, homelessness, body image, gender stereotyping and LGBT+ discrimination. Really exciting about working with them at our campaign hackday in November!
Check out the video they made after their visit to the Pankhurst Centre.
We arrived back from our #risevoicevote session at @PankhurstCentre today and wanted to share some of our reflections on gender equality from today’s session @MEAcad pic.twitter.com/6hU2ghOtgj

Manley Park Primary pupils take over the Pankhurst Centre…
Sixty ten year olds in one afternoon – no problem!
The Pankhurst Centre was delighted to open its doors to year six pupils from Manley Park Primary school. Having just started the new academic year off with a project on the suffragettes and gender equality, they seized the opportunity to come see the home of Emmeline and her family for themselves and to share their thoughts on key issues of today.
In response to the question ‘What do we need to change over the next 100 years?’ they provided a very long and considered list of issues they care about to include tackling the gender pay gap, equality, planting more trees, women’s rights, supporting diversity and banning single use plastic.
We look forward to seeing how they implement some of these changes within their own schools and communities in their passionate quest to make a difference…
