Stories is an approved PACER program

What can I learn about the diversity and breadth of Australian experiences through sharing stories and connecting with works of art in the National Collection?

In this active creative learning program facilitated by Artist Educators, students engage with works of art by Australian artists and the diverse stories they tell about the people and places of Australia.

Through playful learning strategies, students make personal connections to build empathy and understanding and consider how they can contribute to civic life. They participate in shared meaning-making, drawing from their own knowledges and connecting with the ideas of artists, educators and peers. Stories takes an inquiry approach, helping students to learn in multiple ways. Experiences could include material play, movement, , inquiry-based conversation, creative writing and reflection.

Stories is an approved PACER program and connects to the Australian Curriculum through the Learning Area: Humanities and Social Sciences: Civics and Citizenship; Visual Arts; the Cross-curriculum priorities and General Capabilities.
