A Journey Through Time and Culture is a free activity pack to facilitate creative conversations on the meaning of diaspora.
Exploring how cultures move, interact and evolve, is encouraged as a way to look at how we each choose to represent and remember our own cultural identity.
Though it was designed with a classroom setting in mind for KS3 and KS4, it is open and appropriate for use in a variety of settings for all ages.
It includes two activities and a printable template to create your own cards:
Activity 1: Archive
Pick an object or concept to put in an ‘archive’ by designing one or more cards.
Activity 2: Journey
Take your item(s) on a journey! Imagine their movement on a map, making marks using pens and pencils.

Who’s behind this resource
This resource was developed by the Peckham Platform team, with graphic design by Sauda Mabuye, illustrations by Elsa Farmer. It was funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Created as part of Peckham Platform’s Memories for the Future project, it was piloted with South London Gallery’s Art Block and includes images of work by children from Harris Primary Academy Peckham Park and Highshore School.
