Institute Of Education Archives Event - Tuesday 25th March 2014

On Tuesday 25th March 2014 the Institute of Education Archives will be holding its annual Friends of Newsam Library & Archives’ (FNLA) Study Day. This year’s event, “Anthem for doomed youth”?: exploring conflict and resolution through archives, considers the concepts of war, conflict and peace through the lens of learning and education.  

It is an informal day of talks and discussion from a range of people looking at the impact of war on education provision and the current work of the Institute of Education to teach today’s children about war and peace through archive collections – including the Centenary First World War Battlefields Project which was announced last year.
