Primary schools in Ireland and Northern Ireland are invited to participate in the Herstory Treasure Hunt workshop to uncover their heroines. In the workshop, students will not only get a chance to delve into family, local and national history but to explore and identify what makes a person great. So as well as hunting for great stories, we are encouraging students to identify their chosen heroine's 'superpowers': qualities such as compassion, courage, creativity, integrity, friendship, intuition, sensitivity, loyalty and more.

In Exercise #3, students will read Malala’s story and explore how they can be a heroine or hero in their own life story.

In Exercise #5, students will learn about Greta Thunberg and the children’s 'FridaysForFuture’ marches, inspiring each classroom to create their own heroic team to champion a cause close to their hearts.

The aim of the Herstory Treasure Hunt workshop is to instil a curiosity and value for every woman’s story.
