We will build on the experience and success of the first phase of Their Past Your Future (2004-6) by continuing to use the Inspiring Learning for All framework to shape this new phase of the project. This framework has enabled us to plan and shape the project to ensure a clear focus on the learning outcomes for all its participants. The original learning outcomes identified for TPYF 1 (2004-6) have been revised to take into account the change of emphasis and remit of TPYF 2, and are detailed below.
