About this training

Museums can be brilliant spaces for under 5s to play, explore and learn with their parent/carers. Creating self-guided resources specifically for this audience can help you to enhance the experience of a museum visit for both young children and their accompanying adult.

This training webinar will be led by Jo Graham, an experienced consultant passionate about engaging under 5s in museums, especially in family groups.
