## Notice

This ITT relates to the development and delivery of a creative media and educational project related to the historic ship, HMS Caroline (Belfast, Northern Ireland), and its collections. The project will include the following elements: 1) Delivery of two practical workshops for school students, from communities within Northern Ireland, at Key Stage Three level, focussing on digital technology skills and how graphic novels/comics can be used to explore and make historical themes accessible. The sessions will be themed around two areas of the HMS Caroline's history. The workshop sessions will introduce digital technology and the use of graphic novels/comics to make historical events accessible to diverse audiences and learners. 2) Working with HMS Caroline's Curator and Learning and Engagement team to research the two identified historical areas outlined using the collections and archives of HMS Caroline and identify content for the workshops. 3) Storyboarding and scripting writing to transform the research, historical narratives identified and ideas generated in the schools workshops into content for an HMS Caroline graphic novel. 4) Production of artwork for graphic novel. 5) Design of graphic novel and print. 6) Work closely with HMS Caroline's Learning and Engagement Team to create a Key Stage Three learning resource, linked to the requirements of the Northern Ireland Curriculum, for use by schools in the classroom in conjunction with the graphic novel. The successful organisation/individual will be expected to build links with local schools and deliver the project in Northern Ireland.
