Outreach Conference 2016

22 - 23 May 2016, Newcastle, United Kingdom


This event is by invitation only

Introduction
Following the success of our inaugural Outreach Conference in June 2015, we will again bring together representatives from our regional groups to share expertise in delivering outreach activities.
 
This year, the theme for the conference will be ‘Effective outreach within schools’.  Through a series of talks and workshops we will focus on:
 
  • The great outreach work that is being carried out by our members across the UK and Republic of Ireland
  • The latest thinking in the wider community about what constitutes effective schools outreach
  • How we can use this learning to help shape our approach to school-based outreach activities
Delegates will also have the opportunity to explore the exhibitions at the International Centre for Life.
