Museum brings story of Birmingham social reformer to life with new schools programme
A Birmingham museum has launched a new schools programme that will bring the story of one of the city’s greatest social reformers and the village he created to life. The programme has been developed
by Selly Manor Museum in Bournville and is suitable for both key stage one and key stage two children. Youngsters will learn about the
beautiful garden village of Bournville, the innovative Cadbury brothers behind its development, and the Quaker values that guided George Cadbury. They will discover the fascinating heritage of Bournville through
interactive storytelling, a walking tour, a ‘build a village’ activity and a tour of the Museum. Students will also gain a greater understanding of the important role
that social reformer George Cadbury had in improving welfare and living conditions of families.
They will compare living conditions of
Bournville and inner city Birmingham in the 1900s, where children in Bournville were found to be taller and heavier than their inner-city peers. India Wilson, Bournville Heritage
Officer at Bournville Village Trust, the charity that manages the Museum, said: “We are really pleased to announce our new and improved Bournville school programme. “It covers key curriculum links in both
geography and history including using basic geographical vocabulary, simple
compass directions and observational skills in fieldwork. “The programme has also been designed to help children understand events beyond their living memory and study a significant individual of the past which George Cadbury certainly is.”
