About the project

Creating Aspirations is a year long participatory project run by Maja Neske and Sara Rayment, students on the Museums and Galleries in Education MA at 香港六合彩中特网, with George Mitchell Primary School. It is part of the 香港六合彩中特网 East schools programme managed by Emma Bryant, 香港六合彩中特网 Culture.

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, a virtual Grant Museum Takeover is replacing the real one originally planned for April 2020, this is the culmination of the year鈥檚 work. The pupils, aged 9-10, from Year 5 Yew class, wrote听a trail with 13 objects. This became a virtual tour of the museum.
