All good things start with Education

By Eduarda

Day 4 at the Migration Museum – Today we discussed what we would like our video to look like, both with our supervisor, Sophia and with Liberty and Emily at the Migration Museum. Our goal is to produce a video that can be valuable to Migration Museum, that represents what Active Citizenship is all about and that gets us excited to produce and eager to learn to use Adobe Premiere Pro.Thankfully, we believe all the above boxes have been ticked. The Migration Museum is all about sharing migration stories and trough those stories incite compassion and understanding no matter what pre-disposed beliefs people might have about migration. The Migration Museum understands that education is the key for their mission’s success, and so has, from their early stages, worked to build relationships with primary schools, secondary schools, community centres… Pretty much anyone and everyone who is open to learning.

 

They have an amazing educational program, with resources and tips for teachers so that migration can be talked about openly and constructively in the classroom. The first step in order to become an active citizen is to question what you see and raise discussions, to defy what you don’t agree with while listening to the opposing view. This is the environment the Migration Museum believes a classroom can be. We hope to, via our video, be able to share this view so it is one step closer to becoming a reality.
