- consider the changing attitudes and government policies towards migrants over time (secondary students).
Outline
The program has three main components:
-
Introduction – through examining a set of objects representing migrants' luggage, students investigate the experiences of migrants coming to Australia and how Australian Government policy and community attitudes towards migrants have changed over time.
-
Gallery visits – under the supervision of their teachers, students identify stories in the Museum's exhibition galleries and explore when, why and how various individuals came to Australia.
You may like to allow extra time to visit other exhibitions and to explore other places in the Museum.
