International Interactive Workshops at The Beaney

Students are introduced to Canterbury and its surroundings, i.e. Canterbury Cathedral, River Stour and city centre. They learn about Medieval Canterbury through a map of William Ury, Thomas Becket and get to handle medieval objects such as Pilgrim badges, ampullas and they even get to try on a Pilgrim’s hat!  Students and their accompanying support staff learn about items from the museum collection in People and Places, Masters and Materials and The Study and they also get to learn some mini-mindfulness whilst studying some of the paintings on display.

One group leader commented, ‘I love how interactive it is for the students, so they have to look at everything closely and are very engaged.’ Concorde International Programmes Manager, Adam Fox, after observing a session remarked that, ‘all the students were getting involved and thoroughly enjoyed the workshop.’
