Learning

The International Slavery Museum offers a range of activities, sessions and resources for education and community groups of all ages. These are run by our Education and Communities team.

Learning sessions

Learning sessions are free sessions specially devised, often around the national curriculum, to offer learning opportunities based on our collections and displays. Most sessions are led for you by a member of our staff. They are free of charge, but are very popular and booking well in advance is advised.
