Back to topONSITE & ONLINE PANEL: Decolonising Education: Learning for the Future at the Marx Memorial Library & Workers' School
Drawing on key themes raised by Professor Marjorie Mayo’s new study ‘Decolonising Community Education and Development: understanding the past, learning for the future’, this panel brings together educators from schools, higher education, the labour movement and the heritage sector.

Doors open at 5pm for drinks reception and a chance to browse a display from MML's archives. The panel discussion will commence at 6pm, followed by an opportunity for Q&A.
Panelists will examine how heritage collections documenting challenges to imperialism and exploitation through time - at the MML and elsewhere - can be mobilized today to expose hidden histories, contest existing narratives and enrich learning for diverse groups.
