Telling Our Stories is a community heritage and oral history project, which shares and celebrates the hidden histories of Devon’s diverse and multicultural communities, past and present.
This resource shares the stories of Devon’s multicultural history and has a number of activities for schools, suitable for Key Stage 2, 3 and 4.
This learning resource is informed by content collected as part of Race Council Cymru’s project, Windrush Cymru – Our Voices, Our Stories, Our Histories. The themes have emerged from the stories and memories shared by participants of that project.
The NHS is close to all of our hearts – now more than ever. From the very beginning, people have come to Britain from all over the world to make this grand vision for a better society a reality. The NHS would not have become the beloved institution it is today without its international workers. But their vital role has largely been ignored.
Heart of the Nation: Migration and the Making of the NHS is a digital exhibition that puts this vital story at centre stage through oral histories and archival materials, as well as art, animations and data visualisations.
This lesson plan uses the story of one individual, Renie Inow as an access point to the broader story of the Kindertransport (the child refugee service in 1930s Europe).
Renie’s journey – This is a flexible lesson plan aimed at 9–11-year-old learners. Your students will learn about Renie Inow, who came to Britain on the Kindertransport at the age of 10. You will read letters her parents sent her, and learn what the Kindertransport programme was, and why it was needed.
Students will practise reading, writing and comprehension, as well as being introduced to the history of the Holocaust in an age-appropriate way. This lesson is differentiated throughout for different abilities.
