The Education section has been set up to support Morris Federation sides and the wider morris and traditional dance communities to support their educational activities. This area is being developed, and will contain case studies, surveys, teaching materials and a list of morris and sword dance educators. This page can be found by Googling for “#morrisfed education”.
