Dear All, Re: InSite: 20th century conflict for 21st century learning Their Past Your Future, with the Imperial War Museum, launches a new, all expenses paid, continuing professional develoment opportunity for teachers, museum, library and archive educators and education professionals today. Details of the programme, itinerary, testimony from those who took part in the pilot and how to apply can be found at www.theirpast-yourfuture.org.uk/InSite. The deadline for applications in 22 February 2008. InSite will focus on the impact of conflict in the twentieth century with an emphasis on Post-1945 Europe and the Cold War. As well as subject knowledge, it aims to build awareness of the issues involved in the teaching of controversial and sensitive subjects, and confidence in the delivery of these subjects. It also aims to facilitate mutual learning exchanges between teachers and other educators. In addition, there is an element of training in risk assessment, health and safety, itinerary planning and other practical issues that arise from leading educational trips. This is a great opportunity so please consider it yourself and/or pass on to anyone school or museums, libraries and archives based or in other education settings that might be interested. If you have any questions then please contact me either direct or via [log in to unmask] Best wishes Amy Ryall Their Past Your Future
