Dear All,
Re: InSite: 20th century conflict for 21st century learning
Their Past Your Future, with the Imperial War Museum, launches a new, all
expenses paid, continuing professional develoment opportunity for
teachers, museum, library and archive educators and education
professionals today. Details of the programme, itinerary, testimony from
those who took part in the pilot and how to apply can be found at
www.theirpast-yourfuture.org.uk/InSite. The deadline for applications in
22 February 2008.
InSite will focus on the impact of conflict in the twentieth century with
an emphasis on Post-1945 Europe and the Cold War. As well as subject
knowledge, it aims to build awareness of the issues involved in the
teaching of controversial and sensitive subjects, and confidence in the
delivery of these subjects. It also aims to facilitate mutual learning
exchanges between teachers and other educators. In addition, there is an
element of training in risk assessment, health and safety, itinerary
planning and other practical issues that arise from leading educational
trips.
This is a great opportunity so please consider it yourself and/or pass on
to anyone school or museums, libraries and archives based or in other
education settings that might be interested.
If you have any questions then please contact me either direct or via

Best wishes
Amy Ryall
