Cornwall Heritage Trust School Workshops Programme

We recently met with Caroline Davey from the Cornwall Heritage Trust. She is running free workshops at Cornish Heritage Sites for primary school pupils that you may be interested in exploring as they may be useful in addressing some of your wider ‘careers’ skills foci (e.g., teamwork, resilience, problem solving). Please see flyer for details. For more information or to book, please contact Caroline Davey, Education and Outreach Manager, on 01209 707008 or by email caroline@cornwallheritagetrust.org. Caroline's team are also able to deliver outreach workshops in schools for a small fee (£2 per student). Workshops include:

Historic Landscape Art Taking inspiration from Cornwall’s unique landscape and heritage, create your own artistic masterpiece. Prehistoric Jewellery Making Taking inspiration from examples of Bronze Age and Iron Age jewellery create your own hoard.

Medieval Marvels Taking inspiration from the Medieval Bestiary and combining Cornish folklore, learn the art of book binding and produce your own bestiary full of Cornish marvels.

Plagues and Potions Investigate ideas about causes of the Black Death and Plague and discover cures offered by practitioners of medicine in the past. Create your own herbal remedy or potion, and set up your own Tudor Apothecary.

Minerals and Mining Cornwall Rocks! Explore Cornwall’s geology. Discover surprising facts, such as how many Cornish minerals there are in a mobile phone and create your own mining landscape diorama.
