Have received a few replies to my request which I have summarised below.
Thank you to everyone.

Hi Lisa
We’re quite keen on
doing this sort of thing here (mostly because we haven’t done that many
education projects, and like to shout the ones we have!). See www.postalheritage.org.uk/learning/teachers/projects then individual
links to projects within that section. Let me know if you want anything
more.

I work on the Grass Roots project in
Scotland. Within the resources which
I have produced for the GEM
website there are numerous case studies from
museums across Scotland.
Please see
http://www.gem.org.uk/grassroots/GR%20Resources/6dGRResources.html
for
more information. In particular, there are some interesting
examples in
developing learning activities and curricular
developments.
With best
wishes,
Susan
We have been leading on a project for the
last 2 years or so, that has
involved schools, youth groups and veterans of
the Second World War in
learning about the War and its impact together. It is
called Their Past
Your Future, and the website address is as below. The site
contains a
full account of what we did as part of the project - ranging
from
partnering veterans and schools, taking young people overseas to
see
places of historical significance to the War, and touring an
exhibition
to 70 venues across the UK in 2005/6. It contains examples of some
of
the work that young people did as a result of being part of the
project,
advice on how to run intergenerational workshops/projects, how to
run
overseas visits with young people, as well as historical resources
for
use in the classroom.
We used the Inspiring Learning for All
framework
(www.inspiringlearningforall.gov.uk ) throughout the
project and it was
evaluated against the learning objectives that we set. A
summary report
of the evaluation is available on the website, and the full
report is
likely to be available in the autumn.
In the meantime, if you
have any questions about the project, please do
get in touch with me, or with
my colleague Dan (as above) who was the
Education Programme Manager for the
project.
best wishes

Lisa,
I have been working on HERO, a 3 year HLF funded education project, working across five historic sites in the East Midlands region (Nottingham Castle, Grimsthorpe Castle, Holdenby House, Kedleston Hall and Doddington Hall). We've developed five (mainly primary level) programmes which aim to be transferable to other sites, sustainable, inclusive, innovative and fun. Currently I am putting together an advocacy document which will contain what we did, why we did it and how we did it as well as an evaluative element from Nottingham Trent University.
If this document (The Book of HERO) would be of use to you, the best thing to do would be to drop me an email on or around October 11th and I wil stick one in the post!
Good luck,
Adam Clarke
