Adult Learning

Our Existing Adult Learning Outreach Programme
The Hull History Centre project team already provide adult learning opportunities in the local community through the Hull History Services Outreach Programme, standing alone locally and possibly regionally as a provider of post-16 local history courses which are free of charge to students.

Over recent years this programme has developed into a 5 week (10 hour) course which has been very well received in the city. In the 2008/2009 academic year we attracted over 250 students, many of whom had not attended any type of course since leaving full time education. Amongst these statistics we found that our oldest student was 102 years of age and that a visitor from Western Australia joined us for a few sessions, so there appears to be something for everyone.

The current programme includes:
Week 1 - 1900-1920 (including WWI)
Week 2 - 1920-1939 (including the depression years)
Week 3 - 1939-date (including WWII)
Week 4 -  Religion in the City of Hull
Week 5 -  A film show of bygone Hull

Courses are regularly advertised in the local free press.

The Future of our Adult Learning Programmes
We are currently working on a number of additional projects.

Please continue to check back for news as we finalise our adult learning programme.
