International Slavery Museum On Tour

International Slavery Museum is heading on the road bringing some of the history, objects, and stories straight to you.

In this half day session students will engage with historical sources, participate in storytelling and craftivism.

This unique learning experience aims to show how significant events from the past shapes and continues to shape the world around us. Our amazing learning bases across Liverpool will give students a sense of place and an understanding of the rich local Black communities which have been affected by this history, boosting cultural capital. These sessions will feed into our Waterfront Transformation Project and students will have an exciting opportunity to be part of the development of our new museum.

Workshops can be booked for schools in the Liverpool city region or at one of our Liverpool learning bases. These include Wirral Met College, Museum of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University (L1 9DE) and the Caribbean Centre (L8 1YJ).

Workshops are tailored to Key Stage groups, so choose from Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4, or Key Stage 5 to find something to suit your class. Our team are experienced in delivering schools programmes to a wide-range of children and young people.

With tie-in curriculum links to History, Relationships education, Philosophy, English, Fundamental British Values and Art and Design, the workshops are a holistic and age-appropriate approach to teaching children about transatlantic slavery.

We also have defined learning outcomes in developing knowledge and understanding, skills, attitudes, creativity and behaviour and progression. We will also empower students to challenge racism in their everyday lives and communities.

Maximum 60 students and minimum 6 teachers per workshop

We will send venue maps, risk assessments and terms and conditions after booking.

Optional pre-visit activities and resources are available to complement this workshop. They offer important context and guidance for teachers and pupils. The resources challenge pre-existing misconceptions, explore life in Africa before transatlantic slavery, teach appropriate terminology, and outline a code of conduct for respectful engagement with sensitive content. We provide a straightforward lesson plan and all the necessary resources to do this as downloadable pdfs.

Photography is permitted.
