Learn more about how migration has shaped the region with Dr Tanja Bueltmann. There will be short talks for adults, storytelling for children, and a ‘pop-up museum’. Here members of the public can bring in objects that are important to them and which tell local migration stories. Free Admission | The storytelling and pop-up museum will be drop-in and non-ticketed. The talks for adults are also free but you will need a ticket as space is limited.
