Yesterday we hosted @FitzalanHistDep for a bespoke return visit. We had a fantastic lecture from @LoefflerMarion showcasing a historians work. We then split in 2 for a tour of the conservation labs with Eric Nordgren and learned about medieval peasant farmers via a TTRPG.

Volunteers gain a number of skills with SHARE with Schools, all of which are evidenced in the certificate. To gain this, volunteers attend at least 3 training sessions, at least 6 hours of volunteering, write a blog post and complete some self-reflection on their career journey.

We also give out the ‘Dave Wyatt’ award, @SHAREWyatt, for the volunteer with the most hours. These certificates provide evidence of the skills developed whilst volunteering for the project.

Bydd gwirfoddolwyr yn mynd i ysgolion uwchradd lleol i gynnal gweithdai gyda phobl ifanc. Mae’r profiad yn y dosbarth yn werthfawr y tu hwnt ac yn eu helpu i ddatblygu sgiliau hollbwysig. Darllenwch y blog hwn gan Luke, gwirfoddolwr blaenorol: https://t.co/BngtzCkkPB

Volunteers come to local secondary schools to run workshops with young people. This provides them with invaluable classroom experience and helps in essential skill development. Look at this blog by previous volunteer Luke: https://t.co/BngtzCkkPB
