Webinar: On the Homefront

Join a Museum educator and fellow students from around the state for a webinar focusing on stories from Western Australia’s Homefront during the World Wars.

Our webinars run for 45-60 minutes and are an opportunity for students to hear stories from the Museum’s collection, providing additional content to your depth study focusing on the World Wars. Webinars are run with cameras off to protect the privacy of those attending, however, we aim to make our webinar presentations as interactive as possible. Students can engage via iPads or tablets capable of reading a QR code and are welcome to take notes.  

With soldiers at the front, the Western Australian Homefront during the wars has many stories of sacrifice, societal pressure, and change. Using objects in the Musuem's collection and in galleries, students will hear about the experiences of those on the Homefront in WA during the wars.
