Limitless Learning in Deloraine

Limitless Learning recently celebrated the opening of new activities at the Deloraine Folk Museum.

Children from Deloraine Primary School and local volunteers worked with the University of Tasmania to create activities for future visitors that are child-friendly and spark the curiosity of families.

The Limitless Learning project is all about children and young people sharing ideas of what they love about a learning destination, co-designing and co-creating exciting new learning activities and sharing the new activities for the community to enjoy.

The program has been funded by the TCF to improve educational outcomes in the North, North-West and West Coast of Tasmania.

A young participant created a guide on how to set a dining table properly in her words, ‘from olden times.’

“I love the dining room in the Folk Museum, but you aren’t allowed to touch all of the plates. My inspiration was to create an activity where visitors can come and set their own table,” she said.

“Anyone can come in and use the guide to set up a table for dining using plates, spoons, knives and forks donated by the volunteers.”

Her mum said the family had a deep history with the Deloraine community and felt the program has had a lasting impact on her daughter and her pride for the work she had done.

Volunteer John said he and the group of volunteers enjoyed nurturing the young people and Limitless Learning created a sense of fun that was empowering so they freely gave their expressions and interests.
