%X The new National Curriculum wants children to be better connected to the past – which means we need to help teachers and heritage specialists to work together to unlock the stories of  historic places. There is increasing academic interest in historic buildings and places created for or used by children. Research on these places of education, work, welfare and play has focused not only on their architectural significance, but also on what these  buildings tell us about the changing attitudes of society towards young people.  Past issues of Conservation Bulletin have demonstrated the contribution of the historic environment in generating economic growth, creating sustainable communities and contributing to a sense of national pride and identity at times of celebration and commemoration.
