~ Partnered with the University of the Third Age ~
Citizens 800 Shared Learning Project
Background
Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Citizens Project aims to provide a better understanding of the development of the relationship between the citizen and the state in Britain over the last 800 years.
Further information about the Citizens Project can be found on the Citizens 800 website.
U3A Involvement
Royal Holloway University is partnered with the University of the Third Age (U3A), and encourages U3A members to join Royal Holloway's programme of Shared Learning Projects.
Shared Learning Projects involve a team of U3A members carrying out research for an institution such as a museum, archive or gallery where there is a specific project to which volunteers can contribute. The emphasis is on partnership: the host organisation working with members of the U3A team who are contributing to the project.
A number of articles produced by U3A volunteers as part of the Shared Learning Projects can be found here.
Upcoming projects include investigations relating to the Peterloo Massacre, Chartism, and the pre-World War 1 period of "The Great Unrest".
How to Volunteer
Further information and details of how to volunteer can be found on the U3A area of the Citizens 800 website.
