Additional chaperones $8 each
Min. 8 students

Immerse your students in the world of European knights, monks, peasants, and more with our popular Medieval Life program. This program will:

  • Explore what life was like in the medieval world through three different lenses: those who work, those who pray, and those who fight.

  • Highlight the religious beliefs and daily practices of Christian people in the Middle Ages, and how these beliefs influenced the creation of art and artifacts.

  • Provide students with opportunities to touch, hear, and see medieval art and objects in a variety of ways.

  • Include an interactive activity time in the Glencairn Studio where students will be invited to explore the Middle Ages in a global way, and understand how objects can tell stories about the people who made them. Students will be invited to reflect on their own story and identity, and to create a piece of art that captures this.
