Teachers Professional Development Workshop
24 November 2004, 4.30 – 6.30
Sassoon Gallery, Folkestone Library & Museum
BOOK NOW to join facilitators Jo Addison and Natasha Kidd
to explore ways in which the Folkestone Library & Museum Local Studies
Collection might be used as an exciting resource for pupils across the
curriculum. Each school attending will receive a Teachers Resource Pack
and refreshments will be provided.
Navigating History has invited three contemporary artists to create new work in response to the Folkestone Library & Museum Local Studies Collection. Their commissions explore themes of identity and place with a view to encouraging an awareness of the facility and an interest in the wealth of historic material contained in the library’s collection. See the commissions on the Folkestone page of this website.
The Teachers Professional Development session will examine
the ways in which the artists have responded to particular aspects of
the collection. Participants will take part in a number of short activities,
appropriating the tools and systems found within the library to explore
ideas of collecting and collating ephemera. The session has been designed
to suit the needs of primary and secondary school teachers from across
the curriculum and will suggest a diverse range of ideas and activities
which could be developed for the classroom. Schools will also be encouraged
to bring groups to the library to utilise the diversity of heritage items
often out of public view.
The session is free but booking is essential. Please contact me as soon
as possible to reserve places.
