Learning activities can provide creative and engaging ways to meet HLF’s mandatory aim to ‘help people to learn about their own and other people’s heritage’. This guidance provides examples of the kind of activities we can fund and advice to help you plan and deliver formal and informal learning as part of your project.
Useful for…
Anyone who wants to meet our learning aim by providing formal and/or informal learning programmes, and particularly heritage organisations without a previous track record in delivering learning. Applicants from schools and colleges should read this guidance to understand what they must do to access our funds.
