The Jewish Museum is looking on how to continue its educational work after the closure of its Camden site later this summer.

Its doors are shutting indefinitely because of unsustainable losses - although trustees have expressed hopes of finding a new, central London venue within a few years.

A spokesman for the museum said, “We are looking at how to adapt our current offer, to be able to continue to offer education workshops for students and professional development for teachers. This includes how we might be able to expand our current outreach/virtual offers and our loan boxes and travelling exhibitions.”

The team, he said, are also considering “how we can adapt our in-person workshops to suit any temporary venue we might be working from. We will also be rolling out our teacher engagement programme to continue to support teachers when teaching Judaism.”

Around 11,000 students visit each year - and if you add in outreach, virtual classes, exhibitions and loan boxes, double that number are reached.

“Our education programme is a huge priority,” the spokesman said. “We provide hands-on, multi-sensory school workshops for students in line with the RE and history curriculums.

“As the only museum in London to represent a minority community, we are committed to providing high-quality curriculum based education workshops for students of all ages. The work we do with majority non-Jewish students works towards tackling stereotypes, antisemitism and discrimination.”

Alternatives to workshops that currently take place in the museum are also being explored. “We are already in discussions with alternative venues, where our learning team would be able to create opportunities for children to interact with items from our collection.”
