4 How to use the thematic sections of this handbook

How to best use this handbook will depend on each reader. However, we do suggest the following:

• If you are a trainer looking to enhance your teaching practice and/or learn about heritage, we suggest you use the handbook and activities as a source of inspiration for ideas about how to make your teaching practice more inclusive, drawing on a multiplicity of learning and teaching methods. At the end of every activity, you will find a section, ‘Questions for self-reflection on the teaching practice’. We encourage you to take time to reflect on these, taking your own notes or discussing ideas with peers.
• If you are a trainer who will be teaching a group of other educators, we suggest you read through the handbook to choose and adapt the activities you feel would be more adequate to your training objectives, in accordance with the time you will have with the group. You may want to share the text of the theoretical introduction to the module as a way to prepare for an activity (perhaps reading the text together beforehand, or setting the text as preparatory reading). Make sure that at the end of each activity, you provide the participants in your training with the ‘Questions for self-reflection on the teaching practice’, or feel free to open up a discussion about these questions during the training as you engage in the different activities.

Whatever the case, we recommend trainers use this handbook as their primary source of inspiration and guidance and also subsequently engage with other materials in the REBELAH resources to make the best out of what heritage can offer in creating more inclusive learning spaces and teaching practices.
