Hello,

I am Natasa, an MA student working with Curiosity & Imagination for the publication of a guide to creating hands-on learning centres for children. I am preparing a database, which will be part of the book, with various information about existing hands-on centres in the UK.

I was wondering if you could contact your members via email and notify them about our work. If anyone is working in such a setting in the UK and wants to be part of this database, he/she could email me at [log in to unmask]. I will send them a form to fill out and if they send it back to me by Monday the 23rd of May, they will have the chance to enter a draw for a £100 book token for their organisation!

I look forward to hearing from you!
