Training

As well as schools, communities and families, the Vanbrugh 300 education programme will also extend to the staff and volunteers at each of the Vanbrugh sites across the UK. They will receive specialist training in storytelling and communication skills, providing a toolkit that they can draw on in their daily visitor interaction. It will enable staff and volunteers to bring the life and work of John Vanbrugh to life for a broad range of visitors and will leave a legacy of skills to bring the stories of the different houses to life for visitors in the future.
