Three free stand-alone workshops providing an opportunity to explore the impact of the First World War on adult education and how this reflected wider changes in society and education that resonated into peacetime.
Each workshop will explore both local and wider contexts, looking at archive material available in Yorkshire that helps to illuminate individual and collective stories of people involved in adult education as students, tutors and organisers, and what these stories can tell us about how communities and organisations responded to the experience of the first global war. Participants may also have information or stories about relatives who were involved in adult education at the time, or want to find out more about them.
