Stories of the World

A brilliant intiative in the UK that Lucie Fitton from the Museum of London mentioned to me. This project is an advocate for inclusive and accessible cultural spaces for people of all ages and from all backgrounds.

"Stories of the World is part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad, and aims to showcase to a worldwide audience innovation and excellence in museums, libraries and archives. The project is led by the MLA in partnership with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).
In the spirit of the London 2012 Games, Stories of the World will seek to welcome the world to Britain by using our rich collections to tell inspirational stories about the UK's relationships with the world. Young people are at the heart of the project, working in partnership with curators to uncover objects that tell stories that resonate with their interests"
