Learning Outside the Classroom
Updated 17/9/2009
Heritage Partnership
To ensure the interests of all parties were considered in the development
and implementation of the Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) initiative,
eight sector partnerships were set up. One of these is the Heritage Sector
Partnership (HSP) and John Reeve, Chair of GEM, is the current chair of this
partnership.
The partnership currently has 18 members. All are learning
professionals with diverse backgrounds in the heritage sector. They bring a
range of views and information on LOtC and heritage learning to the table
and provide invaluable links to other organisations and networks within
education and the heritage sector.
The role of the partnership is to:
-
Communicate the LOtC initiative to the heritage sector
-
Provide feedback and input from the heritage sector to CLOtC on key priorities
-
Provide support and guidance to the sector regarding the LOtC initiative and, in particular, the Quality Badge
-
Act as a source of expertise on heritage and cultural learning for CLOtC.
The HSP hopes that by successfully fulfilling its role as intermediary and
advisor, more young people will have access to meaningful, good quality
learning experiences in heritage and cultural settings.
