The Discovery Museum has been awarded a grant that will allow them to carry out a real 'Evacuation Experience' in conjunction with Carlisle Museum, Tullie House. The museums will target 4 schools from the Carlisle area and 4 from Newcastle. Children will undertake an 'evacuation' with the children from Newcastle going to Carlisle and vice versa. The children will meet real WW2 evacuees and carry out learning activities regarding Home Front propaganda, soldiers experiences and rationing.
