Creating Family Friendly Museums: Cuppa Session (Scotland) 

Description

Wednesday 29 October, 10.30-11.30am 

In partnership with Museum Galleries Scotland 

Join us for an informal virtual briefing and Q&A session to help you think about low and no cost changes you could make to enhance your museum’s family provision using the Kids in Museums Manifesto. 

The Kids in Museums Manifesto is a set of simple guidelines for museums, heritage sites and cultural organisations, which we update every two years. Between October and December 2024, we consulted hundreds of children, young people and families about what makes a heritage site a great place to visit. In this session, we will introduce the new version of the Manifesto, along with low and no cost changes you could make to improve your museum for a family audience.  

You can hear a case study from the Museum of Scottish Fire Heritage about the changes they have been making to their family offer. You can also find out about the Kids in Museums Manifesto Self-Assessment Tool, which can support you to do a light touch self-audit of how well your museum or heritage site meets the Kids in Museums Manifesto. The Kids in Museums Manifesto Self-Assessment Tool is particularly aimed those with limited budgets. 

Please bring along your own cuppa and snacks!

This training webinar is for staff and volunteers from Scottish museums only. This event will be delivered virtually over one hour.
