Education Team Volunteers - Engaging with Schools Programme

8/7/2019

Today, we had a great day at Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre (MAVC) as we hosted Creative Learning Services (CLS) and Museums Development East Midlands (MDEM).  The learning team were taking part in the Engaging with Schools Programme, funded by MDEM, which has helped us to develop our learning programme for schools. As you can see one of our learning volunteers, Mike Kenedy, threw himself eagerly into the interactive leaning sessions led by Mary Sibson from CLS, showing us how role play adds to the immersive learning experience.  Museum educators and volunteers from the National Trust’s Belton House and Sudbury Hall Museum of Childhood, The National Civil War Centre, Creswell Craggs, as well as the learning team from MAVC enjoyed the activities. Today we focussed on a variety of topics such as the different ways children learn, how we can develop our learning programmes to use objects and grab learners’ attention (that’s not real blood on Mary and Mike’s aprons!) and how we can develop our learning programme by capitalizing on a range of different opportunities to help develop links with other organisations. We finished the day with a celebration of everyone’s progress on this year long project. Thanks to all at MDEM and CLS for a great year of support. Funding from MDEM has given MAVC the chance to purchase new props for our RAF Metheringham Experience Day, help us develop a more engaging schools programme and to devise new marketing materials. The learning team at MAVC will be continuing on the project for a second year; working with CLS and MDEM to further develop an outreach programme. Watch this space!
