Collaborations in Creative Education: A programme of creative workshops for 13 to 16 year olds, responding to the Kirklees Museums and Galleries archives.

This project aligns to the delivery of Kirklees Heritage Strategy approach to ‘Heritage in Action’. The project will develop a model of working to potentially roll out across the district as a creative heritage education offer for children and young people. Kirklees Museums and Galleries (KMG), in collaboration with the School of Arts & Humanities, and the National Saturday Club, seek to establish a programme of creative skills workshops that are designed to respond to the collections and archives of Kirklees Museums and Galleries. The programme will use a range of archival materials to help young people creatively explore a range of themes, from ‘Place and Identity’, through to ‘Representation and Social Change’. The programme will engage with historical materials to consider contemporary issues facing young people in Kirklees. The creative outcomes will be exhibited in Kirklees and London. This project aligns to the delivery of Kirklees Heritage Strategy and will develop a model of working to potentially roll out across the district as a creative heritage education offer for children and young people.
