Australia as a Nation - Waves of Migration
Related topics
Everyone who has migrated to Australia has their own story to tell.
Join us to unpack some diverse experiences of migration and uncover people's varied reasons for migrating.
This workshop examines Australia’s migration from Federation until today, sharing personal stories and treasured artefacts of migrants from post-war Europe, ten-pound poms, Vietnamese refugees, and more.
Using primary and secondary sources from the museum's collections, we’ll discover how migration patterns have been impacted by push and pull factors such as government policies, world events and changing social attitudes.
Students will develop their skills in historical empathy and consider the invaluable contributions of migrants to the development of modern Australia’s national identity.
