Building a Learning Legacy Cymru
NB February Date/Locations changed!
Building a Learning Legacy Cymru is a project funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and is a partnership between CyMAL, Swansea Museum and GEM which has as its key aim the sharing of ideas and expertise amongst museums in Wales, in particular those who may not have dedicated learning teams or have recently extended their learning work.
This will be done by skills networking events, producing resources such as ‘’handy guides’ and creating a pool of ‘problem solvers’ who will share their particular areas of expertise.
Two skills sharing networking training events are being held in January and February 2008: A starter kit for learning in museums and What teachers want from a museum visit. Each event is being run from 10:00 –16:00 on three different dates at different venues.
They will take place at various venues throughout Wales during January and February 2008.
