Anne Frank [+ You}

Last Updated on Sunday, 17 January 2010 12:56

A record number of school pupils visited the Cathedral during September to see the Anne Frank + You touring exhibition.

1800 pupils were able to view the exhibition, that featured a life-size reproduction of Anne’s bedroom plus narrative videos focusing on modern day experiences of the issues that Anne discusses in her diary, for example: war, racism, social justice and identity.

Thanks to funding from Manchester City Council we were able to offer free visits to the exhibition as well as creative workshops that were planned and facilitated by Visual Artist Laura Nathan.

A resource pack with lesson plans relating to Anne Frank and Contemporary issues is available to download on the Education pages of the Cathedral website - click here.

A big thanks goes to Laura, Ian, Colin, Jenny, Amanda, Andrew, David, Steve, Zahid and all the rest of our volunteers who made the Exhibition such a success!
