This session is aimed at teachers and uncovers Glasgow’s historic ties to the British Empire and transatlantic slavery.

Find out more about the resources available, using museum objects to explore how this history connects to racism today, to use back in the classroom.

This online session takes place Tuesday 21 October 3.45pm - 5.15pm. To book your space, email museums.schoolbookings@glasgowlife.org.uk

We are delighted to be partnering again with the Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights (CRER) who work to eliminate racial discrimination and harassment and to promote racial justice across Scotland.
