Hi Gemmers
I hope that you have had a great
summer break and are ready for the school visits to return to our museums and
heritage sites this month.
I would like to invite you to attend a
Science CPD day at World Museum Liverpool (Details below). Any North West museum
staff or volunteers are welcome to attend who would like to enrich their science
learning offer. Subject to availability of places, this invitation also extends
to colleagues outside the North West who have an interest in developing science
learning.
Please could you distribute this
attachment to colleagues who are not on the GEM e-mail
network?
Many
thanks
