Learning programme

War Memorials Trust is developing a youth focussed Learning Programme. It will seek to reach young people through formal and informal learning situations and educate them about the importance of protecting, conserving and preserving war memorial heritage.

In 2008, the charity colloborated with UK National Inventory of War Memorials on a proposal for a joint Learning Programme which was subject to a succeful UKNIWM funding bid. Unfortunately, this did not suceed. War Memorials Trust has therefore taken time to develop its own independent proposal. Initially, in 2009, it focussed on the Learning Conferences as the immediate priority for the Trust as they support war memorial custodians and contractors who work on war memorials.

However in 2010, the charity has been developing the structure for a youth focussed Learning Programme. Fundraising for this project is underway. Subject to securing adequate resources it is anticipated the Learning Programme will commence in January 2010.

Anyone interested in finding out more can contact Director Frances Moreton, frances@warmemorials.org.
