LOCAL HISTORY HUB IN YOUR COMMUNITY
Why join…
Establishing a Local History Hub within your community presents an opportunity to enhance a collective sense of local heritage and civic pride. By creating strong, lasting connections between schools and local history sites, you will not only facilitate resource sharing but also foster ongoing collaboration among educators. Regular meetings and discussions will ensure that schools have the support they need to continuously improve and enrich their local history teaching. This is an exciting chance to build a vibrant, community-focused network that empowers both educators and students, helping them engage more deeply with their shared history and cultural legacy.
Our role…
In partnership with Local Authorities, the Local History Hub will work to identify a lead school and a lead local history site, forming a dynamic collaboration aimed at strengthening local history education. The Local Authority, alongside the Local History Hub, will support the identification of exceptional leaders from both the school and historical site, who will work together to plan regular meetings and discussions to create a hub in your local community. These efforts will focus on enhancing local history teaching and organising impactful events, including Local History Day 2026. This hubs promise to foster a vibrant, community-driven network that empowers educators, students, and local history custodians to deepen their engagement with the rich cultural legacy of their area.
