Their Past your Future

Their past your future

In 2009 the Florence Nightigale received MLA funding to participate in 'Their Past your Future.'

As part of this project the museum worked with Blackfriars Settlement, Burntwood Girls School and writer Rommi Smith  to discuss, through writing and drama, the topic of healing, in particular official and home made remedies that were used on the front line during wartime, and home remedies as a means to discuss the issue of conflict.

This project ran for 6 months and finished with a celebration in January 2010.
