Teachers

We recommend a pre-visit to help you get the most out of your visit. Free teacher Inset sessions are designed to introduce teachers and tutors to the architecture, collections and exhibitions at IWM North.

Book a teacher Inset session.

Initial Teacher Training Students

How can museum collections show us what happened in the past? We offer a free 45-minute session to student teachers and NQTs, demonstrating how we can learn about history by exploring source material and personal stories. Stories link to conflicts from First World War, Second World War and the Iraq War 2003. This session is adapted from our regular offer for schools with additional information about how we interpret objects and an overview of our learning programme.

University Groups

We can respond to requests from university groups who would like to learn more about museum practice through the programme, displays and exhibitions at IWM North.
