Enquiry Based Learning in Museums: A Mechanism for gallery evaluation
This project asks the question “What is the relevance of Classics to the 21st Century?” with Manchester students to encourage debate and regeneration of Classics though enquiry-based learning. Using a mixture of field work and project planning, the student cohort will develop key transferable skills. Students will devise approaches to formal assessment and evaluation of galleries, by directing their own investigations at key cultural sites in the UK. By encouraging students to take an interest in classics we are enabling them to enquire, question and debate, to be aware of the huge influence of the ancient world on their own lives and the ways in which it has been interpreted over the years.
