cover of "Inspiring Adults"

Museums, libraries and archives have a unique ability to engage adults in learning in an informal environment. They contain a wealth of enticing and interesting treasures and resources that can be used to stimulate and support learners to develop their literacy, language and numeracy skills, providing them with confidence boosting and empowering experiences.

This practical book demonstrates how adult learners, staff and volunteers can be inspired by the collections held by museums, libraries and archives to develop imaginative, original, and effective approaches to literacy, language and numeracy development. Throughout, the authors highlight key themes of national relevance by drawing on case studies taken from three English regions where much good practice has recently been developed. Written for those concerned with literacy, language and numeracy, particularly learning providers and community organisations, this is an essential guide that illustrates the potential and benefits of working in partnership with the cultural sector.
