Explore the role objects can play in supporting students’ learning and thinking.

Every object tells a story. When we interrogate objects we can learn about the past, the present and the future. Teachers will be introduced to simple object-based learning activities that can be done in the classroom, as well as new Humanities programs and resources on offer at the Immigration Museum.

Teachers will be provided

• The workshop will include the Many Stories student booklet that teachers can use in the galleries and take home after the workshop.
