<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Good morning all,<br>
<br>
I’m emailing with an invitation to you and any of your colleagues or connections working in social justice who you think could support this endeavour:<br>
<br>
As a social enterprise committed to teaching children how - not what - to think, <a href="http://www.thoughtboxeducation.com/">
ThoughtBox Education</a> is excited to be launching a new (free) inquiry-based curriculum for all schools exploring
<i>Equality and Justice</i>. The programme will be available for 5-18 year olds, with modules containing four lessons each.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We recognise the enormity of this subject, the need to approach with integrity and the importance of allowing all voices to be heard. As such we are reaching out to a small number of inspired friends and practitioners working in the field
of justice for people and planet to invite you to join a peer-review panel and share your thoughts on the curriculum before we launch it to the world.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>NB: We wish to communicate that we are not just replacing the source of oppression in this curriculum by sharing a better set of beliefs, but are truly committed to supporting open-mindedness and critical thinking to allow young people
to listen, reflect, learn and unlearn accordingly.</i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b>Our ask:</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’d love you to take a look at one, some or all of our curriculum for 11-18 year olds and share your thoughts. In particular we would love to know:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo3">Have we approached these explorations with due respect and sensitivity?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo3">Have we overlooked any vital reflections?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l3 level1 lfo3">Are there wider resources you suggest we link schools to?<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>How much time can you offer?</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo6"><b>10 minutes</b>: Take a look through one of our lessons to get a feel for our approach. Or…<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo6"><b>30 minutes</b>: Look through a full curriculum for one of our age ranges and share thoughts. Or…<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo6"><b>60 minutes</b>: Look through the progressive curriculum from 11-18 year olds and send us your reflections<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would welcome your reflections ASAP and by Friday 20<sup>th</sup> November 2020 at the latest.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>In return:</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo9">We promise to listen to your reflections and absorb them into the final programme<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo9">We would love to link to you and your work as part of our peer review panel<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l5 level1 lfo9">We wish to offer you full access to these curriculum and resources to share with any of your networks<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What is our approach?</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ThoughtBox is a social enterprise learning about learning. We acknowledge just how deeply fragmented perspectives are in society, whilst a strong top-down narrative continues to hold significant sway. Whilst inviting inquiry and reflection
in our lessons, we are clearly, openly challenging the status quo. Our curriculum is built on a foundation of empathy and openness to encourage diversity of thought and the practice of unlearning.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
I attach an overview of the programme and a link to the lessons below in anticipation of your support.
<b>If you could reply to confirm whether you’re happy to help or not, that would be wonderful.
</b><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regardless of whether or not you’re able to support, may I take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for the work you’re doing to shape a more just world.<o:p></o:p></p>
