🎉 Our amazing learning team has won the award for Education and Training at the Charity Awards 2024, the longest-running and most prestigious awards scheme in the charity sector 🎉 We run in-person and online workshops and create resources to facilitate informed conversations around migration among primary and secondary school students. We also train teachers in how to approach teaching about migration and integrate it into different subjects, leading with individual migration stories that emphasise lived experience. Since 2020, we have engaged around 17,500 students and 1,300 teachers through our learning programme. 81% of those students said that they had a better understanding of migration after participating in museum activities and 100% of teachers were satisfied with the content and relevance of the workshops. Charity Awards judge Karin Woodley, chief executive of Cambridge House, said the Migration Museum’s learning programme was innovative in approaching the subject of migration in terms of the population and development of the UK as a whole - and doing so in a cross-curricular way which can be a challenge. Liberty Melly, Head of Learning at the Migration Museum, said: “Thank you! We're so proud of everything we've achieved. Young people continue to inspire us, making us believe in a better future. Engaging young people in important conversations and taking the stigma and polarisation out of the topic of migration which is so often used to divide us. Migration goes to the heart of who we are as individuals, communities, and as nations." A special thank you goes to our education funders, our trustees and education committee, and amazing volunteers and placement students for their ongoing support and commitment. As well as our Teach First summer placements, exam boards, and teacher training partners for their invaluable contributions.This achievement is a testament to the hard work and collaboration of everyone involved.
