Humanities 20:20 discussion – NAPE 033

Mark Taylor joins Dr. Tony Eaude and Professor Simon Catling in a conversation about their new project – Humanities [20:20]         Join us in our campaign to restore the humanities – History, Geography, RE and Citizenship to their rightful place in the primary curriculum. We believe the humanities play a key part in a broad and balanced school curriculum. They have a crucial role in helping children to: explore the purpose & meaning of their lives, build their sense of identity & self-worth and develop the values that will help them to become active, inclusive and thoughtful citizens. To find out more information about Humanities [20:20] and to sign their manifesto please visit http://www.humanities2020.org.uk                                 To join the the conversation please leave a message in the comments below.
