St Helen's School in Northwood hosted its second annual post-colonial conference on March 10 for Year 12 students, focusing on the effects of empire and colonialism. Featuring interactive workshops by staff and guest poet Daljit Nagra, the event aimed to enhance understanding of ongoing societal impacts of colonial history. Students participated in discussions led by history, politics, and art teachers, and received insights from award-winning poetry that reflects on identity and cultural legacies. The event also welcomed students from Pinner High School, fostering an enriching dialogue on these critical themes.
We felt very blessed and lucky to see so many knowledgeable speakers to teach us about such an important topic. It was highly enlightening and inspirational.
It was very informative and it urged me to expand and take interest in the politics behind colonialism.
The conference provided a platform for students to engage with complex themes of decolonisation and its ongoing impacts on global societies.
Daljit Nagra's work reflects his British-Indian heritage and offers insights into identity, immigration, and cultural legacy.
