1. Online Workshop
   
   Mobile Things – Objects in Motion 
   We’re surrounded by things that can tell us their own stories, which are also the stories of the long or short journeys they’ve made. Maybe they’re tales about who they used to belong to, how they were used, and the ideas associated with them? Together, we will apply aesthetic research methodology to explore the routes taken by personal items and objects in the museum, as well as looking at what they have in common. We will then create links between them using a creative process that includes both digital and analogue elements. The findings that emerge from the research will be incorporated into mini-exhibitions which will be presented at the end by small groups in a digital session for all the participants.
   
   Duration: 3 hours
   
   A version of this workshop can be held for home schooling and it is also compatible with hybrid learning models. Please get in touch with the education team about the technical requirements (069 212 39898 or ). The workshop will be adapted to suit the age group of the participants.

1. Exhibition independent workshop
   
   The power of maps 
   Who creates maps? And what effects can maps have on us? In this workshop we will look at various (Non)-European mappings from the past until the present and question them about the stories and world views that are imbedded in them.
   Duration: 2 hours, costs: 6€ per person
   
2. Workshop with a visit to the Weltkulturen Museum's depot
   
   What's that doing here?
   How and under what circumstances did objects become part of the museum's collection? In the workshop "What's that doing here?", pupils critically examine the origins and histories of objects in the Weltkulturen Museum's collection that are intertwined with the histories of colonialism and of National Socialism in Germany. They get an insight into the discourse about ownership and restitution claims in an ethnological collection and develop possible stances in group discussions.
   Duration: 3 hours, costs: €9 per person
