Their Past Your Future 2

7 April 2008, 1.30–3.30pm New Walk Museum, Leicester

The Museums, Libraries and Archives (MLA) Partnership has launched an extension to the highly successful Big Lottery funded ‘Their Past Your Future’ programme  
(further details can be found on their website: Their Past Your Future).

The MLA would like museums, libraries and archives to apply for funding for projects that will form phase two of the programme.  In this second phase, lasting from 2007-10, MLA will manage an annual funding programme offering grants of between £500 - £10,000 to museums, libraries and archives in England. Organisations may use this funding to develop programmes, workshops, exhibitions and events which promote understanding of the impact of conflict.

Organisations may apply for grants focusing on two areas: work with children and young people and inter-generational learning. The closing date for applications for the first year of the programme is 23 May 2008. 

MLA East Midlands is hosting this seminar to offer advice to museums, libraries and archives who are developing applications to this funding programme. It is being held at New Walk Museum, Leicester on 7 April 2008, and will be an introduction to the grant scheme with an opportunity to ask questions. 

To book a place please email Audrey Thomas including your full name, organisation, contact details and information about any access requirements by 26 March 2008.
