Small Steps 2 (2022/23)
The McManus Creative Learning team worked in collaboration with Dundee libraries to provide three classes from two local Primary schools the opportunity to create a second addition of a child-friendly leaflet based on the existing ‘Small Steps’ leaflet launched summer 2022. The project involved delivery and creation of a second resource to help young people learn about some of the women who have made significant contributions to society in Dundee and beyond.
Between February and April 2023, 92 pupils from Blackness Primary School and Ancrum Road Primary School worked alongside staff from The McManus Learning Team, Dundee School Libraries Services and Dundee Women’s Trail Group to investigate a further seven women from the existing Dundee Women’s Trail.
The project was delivered through a mixture of offsite school workshops and a visit to The McManus for a tour and a hands-on printing workshop in the learning studio. Through portraiture, storytelling and comics the children created and imagined what life would have been like for these women and these works informed the second 'Small Steps' leaflet.
