International Women's Day 2024

In collaboration with Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner and Plashet School, this year’s IWD featured spoken word performances on the theme of Being Seen.

Five Plashet School alumni, mentored by BCLP volunteers developed talks responding to this concept, sharing their thoughts and experiences.

BCLP’s Governors House also became the backdrop for the first century of portraits and stories from the project, I Am Seen.

The five talks were accompanied by words from Rebecca Campbell, BCLP Partner and Rachel McGowan, Plashet School Head Teacher.

I wish to thank Alison Klarfeld and Emmi Makiharju at BCLP for their continued support of my ideas and aspirations for this work.

I also wish to thank Rachel McGowan, together with Fabienne and Emmanuelle at Bouygues UK and Equans, for becoming part of the development team as we plan for the second phase of I Am Seen.
