Their Past Your Future is an innovative educational programme featuring a range of learning activities, each with particular problems and challenges to be faced. From the development of a UK-wide intergenerational partnerships scheme to the creation of exhibition resources for the blind and visually impaired, our case studies provide ideas and good practice tips for professionals in the cultural sector.
Making a Tactile Book
Are you aiming to broaden access for visually impaired and blind people to your museum, gallery or archive? Are you looking for a tool to make education sessions more inclusive, particularly for the visually impaired? A tactile book could help to broaden access to collections and make museum visits more valuable and inclusive for people with a visual impairment. |
Running Intergenerational Workshops
Are you engaged in intergenerational learning at your museum, library or local community centre? For an organisation that lacks the time or resources to carry out longer-term projects, a simple one-day event or workshop can be an ideal opportunity to carry out effective intergenerational work. |
Running an Educational Partnerships Scheme
Are you considering setting up an intergenerational learning project? Do you want to involve people with interesting life experiences in the educational activities you run? Are you planning activities about the Second World War or another historical event/anniversary? A small or large scale Partnerships Scheme, brokering contact between different social groups, may provide good opportunities for innovative project work. |
Capturing Reminiscence
Do you want to collect reminiscence on a unified theme? Are you planning learning activities based on real life experiences? Do you want to capture feelings and opinions for qualitative evaluation? Reflective questionnaires are a valuable reminiscence collection tool for museums, libraries and archives, as well as local history projects. | |
