Learning Inside and Outside the Classroom - an archive perspective
Monday 3 November 2008
9.30am-4pm Birmingham Central Library
The aim of this day is to explore different approaches to providing teaching
through the use of archives. By looking at learning both inside and outside the
classroom it is hoped the day will provide some inspiration to ensure that
archives can exploit their resources in a way that is both valuable and exciting
for school pupils.
