We’ll be in the Studio on level 1. When you enter Wellcome Collection, head up the stairs or take the lift, then follow the signs.

The Studio

Your school or college can book a maximum of two study days per term. To secure your booking, you'll need to complete and return the required forms promptly.

All study days and events are free, but we charge a fee for cancellation or significant changes to your group size made within three weeks of your visit. Both policies are explained fully in the agreement we ask you to sign ahead of your visit.

Study Days

HIV and AIDS

Students will get an engaging and comprehensive overview of HIV/AIDS and its history, looking closely at its impact on the LGBTQ+ community, Black people and People of Colour, both past and present. 

Using our library’s HIV/AIDS poster collection and gallery objects, they will explore public health-campaign techniques, HIV/AIDS stigma and marginalisation, and contemporary sexual health issues. After analysing historical campaigns, they’ll be challenged to design their own creative campaign, such as a poster or storyboard for a short film.

The session leader is an experienced sexual-health worker, allowing students to explore any questions about STI testing, transmission and treatments they may have in a safe and informed way.

We have developed this study session for groups of students aged 14 to 19, studying GCSEs or post-16 qualifications at school or sixth-form college. You can bring up to 30 students, accompanied by staff at a ratio of 1:10.

Due to the small scale of our free programme, schools in the Greater London area have priority.

The February dates are fully booked now, but more dates are available for June and July 2024.
