Outreach Programmes
Our school outreach programme is designed to bring the story of Titanic, her sister ships and the White Star Line into the classroom for children of all age groups. The outreach programme provides schools with a high standard of resources and material which gives greater knowledge on the history and story of the Titanic.
Supporting the national curriculum and geared for the curriculum of excellence, the outreach programme stimulates thinking and employs innovative communication techniques by combining presentation with quizzes, games and hands on experience. The programme is proving very successful and receiving excellent feedback from schools in the way in which the pupils are absorbing the information and the knowledge they are developing through the programme.
The outreach programme is available to all schools across the country, for further details and information please contact us where we will be more than happy to help.
