Chris, Deborah, et.al. - I have carried out front end evaluation for two national online archive projects over the past year, both of them originally aiming at Citizenship as the main curriculum link, mainly because they involved multicultural heritage. Talking to primary and secondary teachers, however, the emphatic and universal response was that a Citizenship / PSHE focus would be a real no-no! Therefore in both cases we decided to include only passing, cross curricular references to Citizenship and to focus the planned educational resource on more traditional subjects such as History, Geography and Science. Certainly Citizenship sounds perfect for museum and heritage applications but possibly those advising schools are more enthusiastic than teachers... So if I were you I'd test the water before you spend a lot of time and money on developing your new Citizenship resource. More info off-list if you're interested.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Chris Smith Sent: 23 February 2005 12:22 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Citizenship projects. I am interested in ways museums have tackled the Citizenship curriculum. Have you developed a Citizenship project around your collections/resources? If so, how did you go about this? How did you use the collection/resources and how did you deliver the project in school? Was this a one off or something delivered in different schools? I have some examples but would be interested in any other advice. Thank you.
