How to develop a learning programme around portraiture

• Think about your aims and objectives for developing a learning programme and what outcomes you want to see.
• All people - of whatever age - learn in different ways and some of the main identified Learning Styles can be found here.
• Is your learning programme going to be directed, e.g. a workshop led by an educator, or self-directed, e.g. an activity engaged with by the visitor?
• Put on a programme that fits the needs of the audiences and potential audiences to your museum or gallery.
• Work in partnership with core audience groups and other institutions.
• Festivals and national events are good ways to publicise your programmes and make partnerships.
• Using Themes Around Portraiture can generate programmes for different audiences and widen the perspective of your collection.
