GEM Conference 2010 updated 21/5/2010
Young People & Heritage
Tuesday 7 September - Friday 10 September 2010
at Hampton Court Palace and St Mary’s College, Strawberry Hill, London
Young people are an important audience for heritage organisations. What do
we want our children to become, what expectations do they have of themselves
and what are the big issues which will influence their lives?
We will look to the unique role of heritage organisations in helping young
people to understand and interpret these issues; investigating the
contribution of creative learning, live interpretation and digital
resources.
We will explore how learning in the UK helps prepare young people for a
changing world. For example, skills-based vocational learning (such as
diplomas), new ways of working with early years and an ambitious agenda for
lifelong cultural learning.
We will debate what works and identify the opportunities and potential
pitfalls for heritage organisations in supporting the education and welfare
of young people in the twenty first century.
The experiences and opportunities offered will engage and inspire
professionals from career-entry to senior management level.
