Through the exploration of an object-handling collection linked to the theme of sustainability, students will think critically about the source of information and the narrative power of objects.

In this hands-on session, students will go on a quest across the library, work collaboratively to unearth hidden stories linked to climate change and will learn about the role of curators to plan their own exhibition.

This workshop has been co-created with KS3 students from Alexandra Park School.
