What we offer

Under the “work shadowing” program my university is offering, I had the great opportunity to join Ian and Graciela on one of their visits to a local primary school in Tunbridge Wells at the end of April 2010. Engaging with Aztec and Mexican culture through artefact-based teaching was a very unique experience for all of us - teachers, pupils and myself. Through the use of a variety of original artefacts - masks,crafts, costumes, jewellry, maps, etc. accompanied by music and dancing - pupils are directly engaged in the presentation and can explore Aztec and Mexican culture in a very unique and interactive way. Overall, participating in one of Mexicolore´s presentations was an extraordinary experience, where Mexican history and culture came alive. I want to thank Ian and Graciela again for their warm welcome and for a very interesting and inspiring day in Tunbridge Wells. Juliane Gerecke (University of Sussex/Brighton)gipsyjonar
