SOSU H x Workers Museum

Young people in vocational education and training (VET) have fewer opportunities to attend classes outside their schools. Museums are far less likely to develop targeted and relevant education for EUD students than for students in upper secondary education. Part of the explanation for this may be a lack of knowledge about the target group and the programs. This reinforces the inequality that also exists after graduation, where fewer people with a vocational background make use of museums as cultural facilities.
In the project It’s not about how many, it’s about who, the Workers’ Museum has developed teaching for students in social and healthcare education in collaboration with SOSU H.

Why SOSU students?

The subject matter and exhibition principles of the Workers’ Museum offer great opportunities to make the schools’ teaching realistic. At the museum, students will be able to experience the SOSU assistant as a product of the welfare state, and the exhibitions and narratives can become a goldmine of stories that can build bridges between students and the senior citizens they will be working with. SOSU programs are found all over the country, so even though teaching SOSU students is done in close interaction with the museum’s subject area and exhibitions, it provides relevant experiences that can be used by other museums that want to teach SOSU programs.
