Since 2006 The National Trust has been running the London Voice's Project in order to connect local families with their nearest National Trust property. The project is finishing at the end of October 2009 and The National Trust and MLA London have collaborated to facilitate a one day training event on family learning to share the knowledge and experience gained during this extremely successful project.

By the end of the day participants will have developed their understanding of: * Principles: the main principles for effective engagement with family audiences. * Ethos: how to create a family friendly ethos in your organisation * Marketing: how to use outreach as an effective marketing tool for family visitors * Sustainability: how to sustain relationships with local family audiences * Interpretation: how to develop new interpretation through family participation * Generic Learning Outcomes: how to apply the GLO framework to develop your own feedback mechanisms for family activities Trainer: Led by Chloe Bird with partners, The National Trust Price: £75 (+VAT) per delegate; cost includes all course papers, refreshments, and lunch.
