objects and artefacts by curators and then given the opportunity to
work with a number of creative professionals.

Positive Futures Project: Their Past Your Future
‘Positive Futures’ was a creative writing and poetry project about World War Two focussing on conflict, remembrance, peace and citizenship.
It was funded by the Big Lottery Fund and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA), and was part of a project called Their Past Your Future which aims to increase community learning and young people’s knowledge and understanding of conflict.
