Museum offers – workshops and celebration

Bookings are now open for the next free families and supplementary schools Your East End festival at the Museum of London Docklands on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 March 2017.

The festival will be a celebration of how different cultures have shaped the London we live in today. It has been developed in partnership with a range of local community groups and organisations to explore the community, art, food and culture of the area. The festival will celebrate the memories of the East End past and the vibrancy and diversity of the area today.

Get hands-on with creative arts and crafts including a large scale communal mural, listen to interactive storytelling as well as poetry and spoken word inspired by life in East London today and marvel at the area’s local talent during exciting dance and music performances.

• your preferred date of visit- either Saturday 18 or Sunday 19 March

Tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis. To allow as many schools as possible to take part in the activities, please only request the amount of tickets that you will realistically be able to fill.

Student Volunteering Open Evening – Wednesday 22 February 4-6pm

Would you like to work in the heritage sector but you’re not sure how to find out more? Are you wondering about the transferable skills that are needed in the heritage sector and how you can apply them in the future?

If you said Yes to one of the above, or one of your students has been asking these questions, come along to our Student Volunteering Open Evening to find out what opportunities there are for 14-24 years old in the Heritage sector. 

Our aim is to give you an awareness of what programmes are available and how you can get involved.  There will be an opportunity to network with staff from the museums that will be in attendance and learn if this might help you gain some insight to opportunities within the Heritage sector that can help you support you or your student’s career path.

Spaces are limited, so please register by emailing volunteering@museumoflondon.org.uk, stating briefly why you would like to attend and what you hope to achieve from the evening.

We look forward to hearing from you.
