Milan to Millennium with Manchester Deaf Centre
Working alongside the British Deaf Museum and the Manchester Deaf Centre, we were responsible for devising and securing funding for a heritage project engaging young deaf people. The aim of the project was to look at the history of deaf people from the Milan Conference in 1892 to the present day and to share this knowledge through a travelling pop-up museum.
We were responsible for the development of a programme of learning for young deaf people to work alongside us to achieve an AQA qualification by learning heritage skills and co-curating the pop-up museum. Our Young Curators developed skills such as object care and handling, interpretive writing, and exhibition design.
