SUMMARY:Migration Stories North West Exhibition & Preview
DESCRIPTION:A history of migration in and out of North West England told through 100 stories from Roman times to the present day. \nExplore the region’s long history of migration and ways in which it has shaped and continues to shape our social landscape. Browse the stories of individual women\, men and children arriving in and leaving the North West from and to other parts of the British Isles and other parts of the world. Find out how their journeys were driven by conflict\, colonialism and trade\, as well as in search of work\, educational opportunities or a better life. \nThis ‘pop-up’ exhibition includes an interactive screen through which to browse the stories\, and is touring across the North West of England. At this showing in Manchester Central Library there will also be a display by pupils and staff from The Derby High School in Bury about the stories which they researched and produced for the Greater Manchester section of the project. \nThe Migration Stories Exhibition’s showing in Manchester is presented by Crossing Footprints in partnership with Manchester Histories.
