Lesson: Return of Stolen Artifacts
Museums in Western countries are full of stolen artifacts from poorer countries. Often these artifacts were taken from their original owners. These cultures and governments want their stuff back.

Or should they be ‘kept safe’ for future generations? The next time you are in a museum, let this be some food for thought.

Each conversation topic is based on a theme. In order to help students acquire a basic understanding of that topic, four media articles are provided for them to read. I will never test you on the articles, but I strongly suggest you book lessons far enough in advance to give yourself enough time to properly prepare. The better prepared you are, the more benefit you will receive from our conversations.
