Enjoy a weekend, exploring the theme of localising materials to suit your students in the old Court Room, visiting the stunning Forest of Bowland and dining from an extensive menu at this traditional old English country inn situated in the village of Slaidburn in the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is also a stone’s throw from Settle and the Yorkshire Dales and a short drive from the Lake District.:: Overview
The programme will include demonstrations of materials in use by the facilitators, as well as sessions in which the participants will produce, for their own use or for publication, global materials designed to be localised and/or localised materials for their own institutions.
