Over half term and the following weekends, ENACT will be running their ‘Around the World Club’ sessions at the Great North Museum, where kids can come along to learn about different cultures through crafts and share with their families in a welcoming community space. It will be hosted in the Clore Learning Centre (see attached map for more info), and the sessions will be run as follows:

28th October, 10am-4pm Learn to craft Yalda Postcards, Afghan Kites, and Dia de Muertos-inspired paper masks.

1st and 2nd November, 10am-4pm Learn to craft Diwali Lanterns and Somali Folklore Creatures.

8th November, 10am-4pm Learn how to make Turkish Marbling Art and Karagöz Shadow Puppets.

16th November, 10am-4pm Learn to craft Eidiya and Sudanese Riverboats.

These sessions will be free, and families are encouraged to drop by between the above times to join in and there will be free refreshments! We feel this would be a fun opportunity for the kids to get out and learn something new, as well as meet other families from similar backgrounds.
