These FREE sessions are for children age 6-11 and can booked online via Eventbrite (booking fee applies) or at the Museum.
The first session of our 5 sessions will introduce children to the concept of ‘oral’ history’. The theme of the workshop will be childhood, and we’ll be thinking about what childhoods were like in the past and what they are like now! We’ll be decorating memory jars and using tablets as part of scavenger hunt and you’ll go home with a prize.
Over the course of this 5-session programme, children will gain an appreciation for oral history as a source, learn digital skills, explore historical imagination, and gain familiarity with the many histories of East London and Essex, of which they themselves are a part, all while having fun and being creative during their summer holidays!
Workshops have been designed to be enjoyed as a 5 session programme however sessions can also be booked individually.
Please bring your own refreshments to the session. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
