I'm currently working for an interactive whiteboard publisher developing a cross-curricular resource for KS3-KS4 teachers/students exploring issues behind identity.

 

The main strands are cultural identity, migration, assimilation and change

 

As this is for the schools across the UK , I'd like to refer to exhibitions within museums, galleries, archives and heritage sites where teachers could use the exhibition to explore any of the above themes. The same goes for websites too.

 

If you have such an exhibition or know of one, please could you let me know and, if appropriate for the objectives of the activity, I'll endeavour to reference it within the activities themselves or in a 'Where to go' section. 

 

I am also looking for images of objects that are 'significant' to young people from different cultures in the present, either at home and abroad. Objects that have a strong meaning and value with some decoration or expressionistic element that can be used for enquiry and comparison.

 

I realise that the latter is quite specific and would be happy to discuss and/or clarify over the phone if needed. Please drop me a line with your number and I'll ring.

 

Thanks
