RECORDING: Rethinking Museums: fostering optimism, belonging and meaning for families, children and young people
By Kids in Museums
This recording package is for individuals who did not attend the Rethinking Museums live event. If you attended online on 5 February and would like to upgrade your ticket to include a recording, please click here. Since the end of the pandemic, children, young people and families have faced a barrage of challenges to their standard of living, wellbeing, family life and place within society. Our conference will focus on how museums can become welcoming and accessible spaces that enable all children, young people and families to socialise, relax, play, work and learn. The three key themes of the conference are: Family Against the background of a slow post-Covid recovery and ingrained inequalities of access amongst museum audiences, we will share examples of museum programmes that have successfully welcomed children, young people and families who have historically been excluded. Often these new audiences have found a sense of safety and belonging in their local museums and become less isolated. Society In an increasingly polarised world where online disinformation proliferates, museums have a vital role in enabling people to build empathy and explore social justice issues. Work in this space helps museums remain relevant to younger audiences and helps them feel more optimistic about the future. Careers As the number of museum traineeships and apprenticeships are shrinking, so are the routes into a career in heritage. We’ll explore programmes that are opening up the museum workforce and enabling a wider group of young people to find meaningful work and build skills and confidence for future employment. You can read all about the conference and see the schedule on our website. About the recording The recording will include all of the conference sessions. You will receive the recordings approximately six weeks after the conference. You will be able to watch the recordings for six months from the date of the conference. All of the sessions will be captioned.
