The Trust's core vision is that history and heritage belong to all,across generations, socio-economic and ethnic groups. By conserving and understanding the lessons of our collective past we learn to adapt and progress, giving new generations essential skills for their future success.
SS Robin is emblematic of the birth and growth of international global trade and the diversity of modern day civilisation, and the heritage learning programme will explain and illustrate this vital historic legacy.
The project has established an excellent reputation for its innovative and ambitious learning programme centred in an original heritage space. The particular success of the current programme has been to attract audiences not normally associated with an interest in heritage. Drawing upon the learning experiences and success of the Trust’s current work in education the Trust intends to roll out a fully programmed heritage learning programme post-refit in 2009.
The Trust believes that drawing analogies with the experiences of pioneering seafarers is key to attracting different communities to engage with our maritime past, and will continue to explore creative and visual ways to interpret and encourage the heritage experience of SS Robin, while supporting learning activities with permanent and temporary displays using photography, film and other media.
