Our Education Manager Emily has been very busy leading workshops in the RE•THINK Migration gallery at National Maritime Museum for the past few weeks. Pupils from Ashmead Primary School and Newington Green Primary in Hackney joined us to explore their own migration stories and current migration developments through interactive activities. It’s our last week collaborating at the Museum – thank you to all the students, teachers, volunteers and museum staff who have made the past five months such a rewarding experience!
Our Education Manager Emily Miller spoke to community leaders on the evening of 4 November 2015 at the National Maritime Museum, as part of the Museum’s event aimed at understanding how it can be a better resource for local communities.

On 24 October we were invited by Southbank Centre to deliver a discussion session about forced migration and its effects on young people, as part of the WHY? What’s Happening for the Young festival at Royal Festival Hall.
Our Education Manager Emily co-facilitated interactive activities for young audiences around the topic of forced migration along with Hassan Al Mounsaoy, who was an unaccompanied asylum seeker to the UK from Iraq at age 17 and is now studying electrical engineering at London Southbank University. Hasan has done many arts projects including ongoing work with OvalHouse Theatre ‘Paper Project.’
The session for young people ran parallel to a session for adults, which was led by Maurice Wren, CEO of the Refugee Council. At the end, the adult and youth groups came together to share learnings.
Our education manager, Emily, led a workshop with Year 6 Highgate Primary School students on 5 October 2015 as part of our collaboration with National Maritime Museum in their RE-THINK space. The packed sessions included looking at everything from early migration and the Vikings as they’ve been learning about at school to their personal connections with migration to contemporary migration issues and images of the migration crisis in the Mediterranean – these pupils showed they can take a lot of new information on board!
