About the program
In this Museum educator-led program, students will explore the diverse cultures of the pacific community whilst looking at the many ways Pasifika Peoples stay connected to their past, each other, and the environment. Through hands-on activities, students will examine significant Pasifika Objects and their deep connection to Pasifika Cultures.
This program takes place within Wansolmoana, the Australian Museum's Pasifika gallery. The programs and resources have been specially designed or sourced to enable group work, hands-on experiences, exploration and open-ended questioning, which foster collaboration and critical thinking. The program will be facilitated by a Museum educator, and we strongly encourage teacher, parent and guardian participation.
