Twin Cabin Project - A Lesson in Love

Twin Cabin Project
3rd September - 18th October 2007
Institute of Education, London

Why are we not taught how to love?

Formal education never helps us learn how to love - instead we are taught more useful things like algebra.

Young mums, firemen, doctors and even prostitutes are invited to schools give our young people advice, but couples in happy, long term relationships are rarely (if ever) invited to educate young people of their experiences, successes, trials, jubilations and strategies for coping with the most complex of human emotions; love.

In A lesson in Love my grandparents share the ups and downs of their marriage and by doing so give us clues not only how to love but how to make love last – A question we all need help in answering, but rarely get the chance to ask.
