A new account of the power of
workers’ history to strengthen
us today.
The GFTU has commissioned a new
75-minute performance piece from
Banner Theatre, with video clips,
songs and stories to bring alive the
full sweep of our trade union history
in a powerful and impactful way.
Trade union history is not taught
in schools, and labour history is
a minority strand in universities’
curriculum. Few workers
get to know of the great
transforming history
of our Movement
through their own union training
programmes.
Our History, Our Future
is a perfect
way of filling some of these gaps.
This performance piece is ideal for
use in trade union training events,
and in the wider community.
It is accompanied by a popular
education workshop that uses
the exciting and moving material
presented to stimulate debate about
then, now, and what is to come.
Our History,
Our Future
The past we inherit,
the future we build
‘I never knew unions had done so much for so long and so changed
the world. I am proud to be part of this Movement.’
