Students are invited to uncover the migration stories contained in a collection of suitcases. Students work in teams to unpack the suitcases and develop a profile of the migrant whose belongings they discover. At the end of the session, teams present their findings to the class.
Following this staff led session, students are presented with their Passport, which they use to guide them through the museum galleries. The gallery experience provides students with the opportunity to extend the understandings established in the suitcase activity.
The Passport Education Kit with pre and post visit resources is available online to further support student learning and the Passport is a lasting souvenir of the students’ visit.
