Hi Don,
We also run a prehistory schools workshop which compares Mesolithic and Palaeolithic life - feel free to email/phone me if you'd like more details.

Dear Don,
We run a Mesolithic workshop for schools and I would be more than happy to talk through the details with you.
We're constantly revising and developing as we have only been running it for 18 months. I'm happy to share details of how the content evolved (following feedback from school staff and pupils). We are now (hopefully) at a place where we are delivering what schools find most supportive and accessible.
Our website will give you a brief (18 month ago) starting point http://www.coam.org.uk/schools/stone-age/ - we have run this session for cubs, scouts and YAC groups as well as schools.
We established this programme with Kim Biddulph http://www.schoolsprehistory.co.uk/

Subject: teaching the Mesolithic
Hello everyone,
I'm doing my PhD research on public engagement with the Mesolithic in Britain. How far museums are dealing with that is part of the research.
Can I ask if any of you are delivering sessions or resources to schools that are relevant to the Mesolithic? Would you be willing to have a chat with me about that if you are?
It's not so much the methods used as the messages and narratives being delivered or interrogated that I'm interested in.
All the best,
Don Henson
