We'd like to invite you to join us at the final event of The Enquiring Classroom project in the Chester Beatty Library. At this day long event we will share our handbook and other project resources, engage creatively with the collections, build communities of practice, and share ideas and practices. We have invited a range of stakeholders with whom we have developed relationships and we are keen to build sustainable communities of practice on this island and in Europe. We'd be delighted if you could join us to learn together, to reflect, and to plan next steps.
