Moving HereA heritage project for refugees
Partners:Consortium of 30 archives, libraries and museums in the UK
Funding Bodies:Heritage Lottery Fund, National Archives, East Midlands Museums Hub (EMMH), London Museums Hub (LMH), National Museums Liverpool (NML), West Midlands Museums Hub (WMMH), MLAY Yorkshire (MLAY)
Project Description:The Moving Here: Refugee Heritage Programme is carried out by four London museums and partners from five refugee organisations or collectives that are working together on a range of projects. In 2005, they created their own short films, exhibitions and cultural events. Each gives a rich flavour of living heritage through collective cultural knowledge and individual lives. The main objectives of the programm are to:
• overcome barriers to the direct involvement of minority ethnic groups in recording and documenting their own history of migration
• ensure this history is passed on to the next generation through schools
In March 2007, the programme will launch a new section on its website devoted to new school resources for history and geography courses which are part of the national curriculum. The resources will feature interactive lessons, audio and film clips, a gallery, stories of migration, downloadable activities and teacher notes. Tips for Teachers will also be provided. A gallery of artworks depicting various aspects of migration to the UK is provided on the Moving Here website with extracts of their stories.
Lessons to be Learned:The Moving Here: Refugee Heritage Programme is developing an open conversation about museums as places to share diverse voices and encourage cultural exchange. It is an interdisciplinary project combining history, geography, culture and the arts, education, politics. Users can add their own stories to the website or download videos, sound recordings and text which have - until now - not been available to the public. The Moving Here: Refugee Heritage Programme opens up new fora for dialogue and understanding of the history of England by adding new information, visual documentaries, figures and stories of persons from different waves of migration.
Target Groups:General population, school teachers, students, migrants to England
