Hello, I am writing with information about a seminar to be held at The V&A Museum of Childhood on Thursday 26th March. I wonder if you could circulate this among your students and graduate network? Title: Intellectual Forum Seminar - The use of objects in workshops with children. Perspectives from museum practice and academic research. Thursday 26th March 5pm-6.30pm The Summerly Room at The V&A Museum of Childhood - Dr Tessa Whitehouse (QMUL School of English& Drama) will talk about the use of objects in her current Creativeworks funded research project 'Making Friends'. The project is in partnership with Codasign and Stoke Newington School. Tessa's workshops include the use of creative technologies in object-exploration and object-making with children in participatory research. - Dr Carolyn Bloore (Formal Learning Officer, V&A Museum of Childhood) and Madeleine Hoare (Schools Officer, V&A Museum of Childhood) will talk about their use of objects in the primary school teaching sessions that are offered to school groups visiting the museum. They will focus on puppetry. Do join us to consider these practices and perhaps to share your own experiences of using objects in workshops with children.
