During MoAD Learning programs, students bring history to life as they re-enact historical political events where they happened. They take part in interactive political debates in historic chambers, explore our democratic history, and make connections to their contemporary world.
MoAD Learning provides a wide range of curriculum relevant and engaging online resources for students and teachers. These resources can be used to prepare students for their visit, to extend learning back in the classroom or to support teachers to teach a range of subject areas.
MoAD Learning’s Digital Excursions bring the heritage and history of Old Parliament House directly into the classroom. Our museum educators guide students through the building on a virtual program and along the way facilitate group activities and quizzes exploring our democracy. Our Digital Excursions are perfect for students in K–12, and are available to support learning needs in both the classroom and distance education connections. Interested?
