How do museums build trusting and purposeful relationships that create engagement for the long term? In this study workshop you will look at a range of museum engagement practices and frameworks with examples of participation centred on ethos of equity, care and empowerment to serve communities.
You will be led through a process of planning your engagement and participation approach, devising appropriate strategies that meet the values, creative and social mission and purpose of your organisation. Join us to explore what being a purpose-led organisation means from vision, strategy into an action plan.
Building Equitable Participation: A Durational Approach to Engagement
Study Day, date to be confirmed
“The civic role of museums in the 21st century needs to be rooted in purpose and usefulness to social developments and social justice. I see museums as super connectors and super generators for positive social actions. When we choose to, we can ensure that everyone who engages with our organisation exchanges values, experiences growth – of ideas, relationships and meaning, wellbeing and belonging” — Thanh Sinden.
