WMH Workshop: Curious Project

Continuing our popular workshops on women’s history.

In conjunction with St Mungo’s Museum, we are running the exciting Curious learning programme designed to increase cultural understanding and celebrate the diverse populations of Glasgow.

Monday 2nd April, 10am to 3pm (free)
at St Mungo’s Museum

You will use museum objects to actively explore your own culture, consider other cultures and develop skills and confidence to engage with people from different cultural backgrounds.

Places on this workshop are limited so please book in advance. Click here to book your free place.

The Curious learning programme is designed to increase cultural understanding and to celebrate the diverse populations of Glasgow ahead of the 2012 Olympics and 2014 Commonwealth Games.

The Curious learning programme includes:

• Defining culture
• Interpreting cultural objects
• Challenging assumptions
• Exploring strategies for inter-cultural dialogue

Curious is an exciting learning programme which is suitable for a wide range of adults, including those who are learning English.

Curious is supported by Legacy Trust UK and by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland as part of the Scottish Project. The Scottish project will create a lasting cultural legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games across Scotland.

If you are interested in women’s history then perhaps you know of a memorial to a woman in your area that hasn’t been marked on our Women of Scotland map? Or maybe you know the story behind a name? We want women across Scotland to go out and find the monuments, landmarks, street names and buildings that mark the lives and achievements of women (whether famous, humble or notorious) who have helped to shape Scotland. We are launching Mapping Monuments to Women on Saturday 10th March to mark International Women’s Day. Click here for more information.
