Posted on behalf of the East Midlands Museums Hub: The East Midlands Hub in partnership with the East Midlands Museums Libraries and Archives Council (EMMLAC) and East Midlands Museum Service (EMMS) is funding a pilot project to develop a Mentoring Scheme for the Interact Network (East Midlands network of freelance educators). This scheme has been devised by Interact freelancers with the support of Hub/EMMLAC/EMMS staff. It will run from September 2004 – April 2006. The EM Hub has appointed a Freelance Consultant to oversee the management of the Mentoring Team and to evaluate the project. Four Interact freelancers have been chosen to make up the mentoring team for this pilot project, and together they will be mentoring and evaluating new freelancers, who wish to develop their skills to deliver excellent education services as a freelance educator. The mentoring team is now looking to invite applications for prospective mentees who would like to benefit from the training, mentoring evaluation process from September 2004. We are looking to initially select four individuals from a range of backgrounds, who want to work with a range of audiences, across the regions museums, who either are, or committed to become a freelance educator. If you know of any person(s) who either are working as a freelance educator, or who would like to become a freelance educator working in the East Midlands, I would be grateful if you pass details of this excellent opportunity to them. Application packs can be requested from Jeremy Wiltshire on [log in to unmask] or 0116 285 1366. Deadline for applications will be Thursday 26th August 2004. If you would like any further information about the Interact Mentoring Scheme, or would like more information about freelance educators or Interact please do not hesitate to get in contact with me.
