North West updated 4 June 2008
Working with adult learners
Monday 7 July 2008 10.00am – 3.30pm
Imperial War Museum North, Manchester
This is an opportunity to develop an awareness and understanding of how to work
with and provide for adult learners.
The first half of the day will look at the current adult learner agenda in the
North West. This will be followed by exploring the many ways in which museums
and galleries can provide for this wide audience and possible funding sources.
After lunch the In Touch programme, a joint project between Manchester
Museum and the Imperial War Museum North, will be showcased with practical
activities and discussion opportunities. This project has developed an
innovative volunteer training programme that builds self-esteem and confidence
combined with literacy and basic core skills to improve the quality of life and
employability of adults.
If you are or are thinking of working with adult learners or would like to
provide services that meet their needs, then this is the day for you.
