This year’s Civic Events includes Edith Jayne talking about surviving the Holocaust and Cllr Keith Hyman who will talk about the effects of apartheid on the District 6 neighbourhood in CapeTown and why his family left South Africa.
During the event there will be a performance by Riding Lights Theatre’s and York Theatre Royal’s senior youth theatre groups. This original work is inspired by material taken from York’s Refugee Committee Minute Book (1938-39).
Prior to the Civic Event, York St John University students studying MA Applied Theatre will present ‘Out of her System’, a participatory performance exploring girls’ experiences of education from a human rights perspective.
