More than 200 refugees and asylum seekers will be trained as tour guides at several Oxford museums over the next five years. This innovative initiative is part of the Multaka project, launched in 2015 in Germany.
This five-year training programme recently received a £1mil (RM5.6mil) grant from the Saudi charity, Alwaleed Philanthropies. This investment will enable the History of Science Museum and Pitt Rivers Museum to recruit, train and support a new team of 200 volunteers from across Oxfordshire, Britain.
