My London Story

London Museum has partnered with London Bubble Theatre, a professional theatre company, to introduce My London Story through an interactive theatre performance.

They are looking for Ealing schools to take part. Schools will be invited to take part in organised activities and explore London’s history at London Museum.

My London Story’ is a three-year Arts Council England-funded initiative that aims to capture a snapshot of the diverse lived experiences of London’s children.

Working with schools across London

Through projects in primary or secondary schools in every London borough, My London Story is engaging over 5,000 10- and 13-year-olds in interactive theatre shows and creative workshops exploring the concepts of identity and belonging.

The work of 1,000 children participating in workshops will be used to create a unique digital artwork that we hope to add to the London Collection. Creative studio Ray Interactive have been commissioned to design and create the digital artwork.

In addition, the lives of 100 children will be explored in more detail, capturing the child’s story in the child’s voice, and drawing on a wide range of material from video interviews, diary extracts and photographs in special places, to donated personal possessions and social media posts.
