An interactive workshop and family activity at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum.
Sharing stories, memories and wisdom is an important part of connecting generations. Join us for a two-part session that uncovers storytelling between the generations through a museum visit, interactive workshop, and family activity.
Visitors will experience the multi-award-winning, age-appropriate children's exhibition, Hidden: Seven Children Saved. This exhibition follows seven Melbourne Holocaust survivors as they share their stories of survival, and the kindness of the people that saved them.
A Museum facilitator will then lead a workshop on the importance of storytelling, and the different ways to tell stories. Young visitors will work together with a family member to create a recollection of a memory, sharing stories between generations. This memory could be written as a memoir or even drawn or visually created using a variety of materials.
Perfect for grandparents, parents or caregivers seeking a meaningful and interactive family activity this winter. Presented by Melbourne Holocaust Museum.
Suitable for ages 10 and up.
Tickets: $20 commitment fee per family.
Includes a ticket to the Hidden: Seven Children Saved exhibition.
