Moving Here: New online resource reveals UK migration history: A new online learning resource launches today, offering free and unparalleled access to first-hand experiences of migrants in the UK. Moving Here Schools www.movinghere.org.uk/schools, created in partnership and led by The National Archives, has published contemporary primary source materials to encourage pupils to explore Britain’s multicultural society.

A broad range of learning resources, including interactive activities, has been designed to be used across the school curriculum. The site is ideal to support pupils at Key Stage 2 and 3 (ages 8-14) for History, Geography, Citizenship and ICT. Working with a range of heritage institutions, the project has enabled different minority communities to record their own stories of migration using a variety of sources - stories are told through audio, video, photographs, film and crafts.
