Jewish Museum plans education alternatives

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.”
