Educators, We Need You!

We are seeking a group of dedicated educators to collaborate with us in developing our educational programmes. As part of this collective, you'll have the opportunity to pilot new activities, attend large-scale events, and act as a critical friend to our team. Together, we can create extraordinary learning experiences and pass on the baton of remembrance.

 

If you're interested in joining the group, please contact us at education@thenma.org.uk, or join us at our first FREE Educators Event of the 2024/25 school year.
