NMB will host four public lectures in 2020 as part of a series entitled Bermuda and the Atlantic World. The series of lectures will explore the links and the global forces throughout the Atlantic World that helped shape Bermuda as we know it today.
Lectures will be structured as “problem-based” presentations with an audience participation exercise and a professor-led lecture followed by a moderated Q&A. This method encourages a greater sense of understanding and engagement with the content.
These lectures are also part of the Moving the Needle: NMB Teacher Professional Development which is endorsed by Department of Education. Teachers can receive professional development credit from the Bermuda Education Council (for more information please visit www.nmb.bm/teacherdevelopment).
Seating is on a first come, first served basis for all lectures.
