Youth groups and informal education

The Museum’s education team regularly work with pupils from Jewish Youth groups and informal education and from youth organisations in the wider community, to enjoy a varied programme of fun activities and more formal learning experiences. Programmes are planned individually with teachers.

We can provide varied programmes for pupils from synagogue classes, from Kittah Alef (age 5) to Bar and Bat Mitzvah and beyond. Examples of past programmes include:

• Making Mezuzot in glass mosaic
• Arts activities for Hanukah
• Researching and writing Jewish history newspapers
• Meeting Kindertransport children
• Poetry workshop focusing on Jewish identity

We work successfully with youth organisations in the wider community, such as church groups and play schemes. If you run such a group, and would like us to introduce your members to Judaism through enjoyable creative activities, please feel free to contact us.

"You provided a very thought-provoking and rewarding session on Jewish beliefs and practices around birth and childhood, and the tasks you set were very relevant to the students' needs and stimulated their interests."
