Education Charity announces ‘Royal History’ season
Published: 08 April, 2011
Thousands of schoolchildren will be encouraged to learn more about the monarchy by watching, discussing and reviewing a stimulating season of films compiled by education charity FILMCLUB for Royal Wedding week. Ten thought-provoking titles, complete with synopses, are being offered as a resource for teachers keen to bring British history to life and offer unusual perspectives on the monarchy at a time when interest in the subject is high.
The ‘Royal History’ Season is part of a broader ‘Power of Film To Educate’ campaign – along with an ‘Autism Awareness’ season and 19 subject based ‘Curriculum Support Seasons’ – highlighting the capacity of film to educate people about a variety of topics including many they might not normally encounter.
