Interactive workshop for young people to discover stories and artefacts about the RMS Titanic.
Hands on History: Discover Titanic is at SeaCity Museum today, Friday 7 August, and it's an interactive workshop for young people to get stuck into the story of the RMS Titanic. It's not a talk you just sit and listen to; it's built around stories and artefacts, so you'll be working with actual things rather than just hearing about them.
That's the main thing that sets it apart from a standard museum visit. Instead of walking past a display case and reading a plaque, the session is designed for young people to handle artefacts and piece together the human side of the ship. It's about the people on board as much as the vessel itself, so the focus is on the individual stories that come out of the archives.
Because it's a workshop, it's meant to be hands-on, which makes it a good one to bring younger ones along to. They get to work with the material themselves, and the session is run with them in mind, so it's a way of getting into the history without it feeling like a school lesson. It's about discovering the details for yourself rather than being told them.
