These free workshops use the unique material in the Society's collections to support the geography, history and citizenship curriculum.
Snapshots of China
The Society will shortly be running drama-based workshops exploring the history, culture and challenges facing China in collaboration with the Yellow Earth Theatre Company.
The workshops accompany a new exhibition entitled 'Seeing China: Reflections of a community' for which we have worked closely with a number of London-based Chinese community groups and a youth group.
Sessions target Key Stage 2 & 3 pupils and will introduce students to China through stories and drama activities based on the Society's unique archival collections of maps, artefacts and photographs.
Dates:
9, 23, 30 June and 2, 3, 4, 8, 10, 14, 16 July 2008.
Workshops last for 2 hours and are suitable for a maximum of 30 students. Sessions take place at either 10.00-12.00 or 12.30-14.30.
