Associated Work of ESEU
Ambassadorial Scheme: Thanks to support from
the Department for Trade and Industry, ESEU facilitators were able to
support a wider range of events in addition to ESEU’s standard
workshops for teachers, from 2003–2005.
Britain’s Journey Animation: ESEU has worked with
Cambridge Paleomap Services to produce a continental reconstruction animation
program for the last 450 Ma, called ‘Britain’s Journey’,
it has northern Europe as its focal point and has been specifically designed
as a teaching aid for schools.
Britain’s Journey has since been updated by ESEU (2004) and has
been produced to accompany the in-service training that is provided by
ESEU to secondary schools throughout the country. If you
would like a free copy on a CD Rom, that also contains a whole host of
invaluable KS3 and KS4 teaching material, simply get in touch with ESEU
to book an INSET workshop for your school and the workshop facilitator
will leave a copy with you afterwards.
