Event Description
Step back in time and discover the important roles women played during the Second World War in this interactive children’s workshop led by the NI War Memorial Museum.
The session begins with a short, engaging talk by Dr Robyn Atcheson and Dr Becca Watterson, featuring real objects and demonstrations from the museum collection.
Children can then take part in hands-on activities at two themed stations:
- Women’s History Station – explore women’s wartime roles using paper dolls and uniforms, led by Robyn
- First Aid Station – learn basic bandaging skills and how women cared for others during wartime, led by Becca
- There will also be colouring-in activities throughout the workshop, with a special focus on women such as Land Girls.
Please note all children are to be accompanied by an adult/guardian.
