About the Tracing Our Tales Traineeship Programme
Launched in October 2017, Tracing Our Tales is a pioneering, award-winning project by the Foundling Museum that offers paid art traineeships to care-experienced young adults aged 18–29.
The alumni group are trainees who have graduated from the traineeship and continue to engage with the Foundling Museum. The group co-curates art workshops with professional artists to gain professional development experience, expand their creative skills, and ensure their voice remains a part of the Museum’s programming.
This workshop will last for two hours. Light refreshments will be available.
