Students uncover the personal settlement and migration stories through objects and artefacts. Led by a museum staff, students work in teams to develop a profile of the person whose belongings they discover. At the end of the session, teams present their findings to the class. All students are invited to reflect on the challenges migrants faced, including their own family migration stories.
Following this staff-led session students are presented with their ‘passport’, which they use to guide them through the museum galleries. The gallery experience provides students with the opportunity to extend the understandings established in the staff-led session.
