Description

HES is seeking to commission a contractor to manage the on-going delivery of the existing HES Junior Tour Guides programme to the expected high standards. The approach should demonstrate meaningful opportunities to actively engage young people, including those with additional support needs, to support a cross-curricular and skills-based approach aligned to the aims and outcomes of the HES Learning Framework.  The key element of this commission is to sustain the existing Junior Tour Guides programme, on a national scale, working with six local schools across Scotland linked to HES sites: Bishops and Earls Palaces, Craigmillar Castle, Doune Castle, Huntly Castle, Linlithgow Palace and Trinity House. Supporting young people to actively re-connect with their local heritage post covid and share it in creative ways to make it more accessible to other young people through co-design projects is a priority for the HES Leaning and Inclusion Team.
