1. The South African committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM-SA) has produced an interactive map of museum and heritage sites in South Africa.
2. ICOM-SA is inviting schools, teachers and learners to provide feedback on the map and the effective role of museums in heritage education. Heritage is an important aspect of Social Sciences in the GET Band and History and Tourism in the FET Band. The map has the potential to become a valuable education resource for teachers and learners. ICOM-SA is also requesting information on sites that are of significance to communities. This provides an opportunity for schools to engage with local communities to promote these sites.
3. Information about the project and the website address are included in the attached information leaflet from ICOM-SA.
4. Please bring this to the attention of all Social Sciences, History and Tourism teachers.
