| Summary: |
A European heritage project, HEREDUC, a European partnership, is
formed with the aim of developing new approaches to heritage education.
The project has developed a handbook for teachers entitled Heritage
in the Classroom and an In-service Training Course.
Next spring, from April 24th to May 1st 2008 the in-service training
course: “Teaching with heritage in secondary education”
will be organised for the second time in the historic castle of
Alden Biesen in Bilzen, Belgium ( www.alden-biesen.be ). Beginning
with a theoretical introduction to what heritage and heritage education
is, the course will go on to explore the castle of Alden Biesen
and the surrounding area as a case studythrough observation and
exploration exercises, active workshops and guided visits.
This course is primarily aimed at secondary school teachers and
teacher trainers, however others working in the heritage sector
can also apply for a European grant to participate.
