Family Learning Programme 2011

We run Family Learning events once a month on a Saturday from Autumn to Spring every year. This project has been very succesful in the past two years and was funded by an Inspiring Learning Grant from CyMAL. Family Learning has been very rewarding, not only has it helped us to develop a more holistic education programme, but it has formed a closer bond between us and the local community that is beneficial in many ways to us both. We will also consider taking the programme outside the gallery environment to groups that cannot come to the gallery for any reason. Please contact us for more information.

We have also produced a Family Learning Toolkit for Smaller Venues, based on our experiences which is available to download as an interactive PDF, just click below. Recently there have been major changes in primary school education in England and Wales, with the introduction of the Foundation Phase for children aged between 3 and 7 years with an emphasis on learning through doing. Therefore, we have adapted this toolkit so that it can be applied to schoolchildren in the Foundation Phase, so that small sized venues can use it to continue to provide formal learning opportunities for school children in this group. This compliments the Family Learning toolkit (sample page below).
