Dear Followers,
I have picked a few events from this year’s Bath Festival that may be of interest to you.
I have also created a “donors and sponsors” section on the website, why not have a look? Also, I will soon update my website. In the unfortunate case you experience technological disruptions and stop receiving my blogposts dear followers, please re-subscribe, follow me on Twitter or e-mail me at blackeuroperesources@gmail.com and I will do my best to help, thank you.

BARBIE: DUMB BLONDE OR DIEHARD FEMINIST?
“2019 sees Barbie turning 60. Should we celebrate her as an iconic toy that encourages girls to play imaginatively and creatively or is she just a metaphor for a culture preoccupied with how a woman looks rather than what she says? Do you love or loathe her? Join Guardian writer and blogger Moira Redmond and actress, director and writer Zawe Ashton (Character Breakdown, Fresh Meat) for a lively discussion with journalist and author Marisa Bate.”
