How can museums create climate interpretation that opens up meaningful conversations and encourages action?

Museums and heritage organisations have a unique role to play in helping audiences engage with climate narratives. This practical study day will explore the principles behind effective climate interpretation and consider how they can be applied in practice and embedded within organisational strategy.

Led by interpretation specialist Anna Ravenscroft, the day combines case studies from across the museums and heritage sector with interactive activities that encourage participants to reflect on their own institutional context. By doing so, participants will begin to develop a distinct ‘climate voice’ that is rooted in their collections, audiences, and values.

Study day leader Anna Ravenscroft has delivered award-winning interpretation for major galleries at the Imperial War Museums and the Science Museum, and has worked with organisations including the Natural History Museum and National Portrait Gallery. She works on the Wellcome Discovery research project Melting Metropolis, which explores urban experiences of extreme heat and takes a narrative justice approach to informing policy and shaping change. Anna has also worked with the Natural History Museum on two projects exploring how interpretation can help create ‘advocates for the planet’.
