Location: Fulham Palace House & Garden, London SW6 6EA
An event for London’s museums and archives professionals, funded by The National Archives.
Museums and archives and their communities are increasingly impacted by the effects of climate change. The need to take action to address impacts, meet the needs and expectations of communities and address the requirements of sector funding bodies has never been clearer.
This networking event will provide opportunities to learn from colleagues engaged in climate action work and to share your experiences and explore approaches to creating climate change and influencing and advocating for environmental action.
Training for museum and archive managers
Tue 25 Feb 2025, 10am – 12pm
Location: Online via Zoom
Trainer: Adam Koszary
This session will help you figure out how to focus on what your current and potential audiences actually want, so you can stop trying to do everything at once and focus on what's helpful to your organisation.
We’ll explore wider trends on what channels different demographics are using and what content tends to work better. We’ll also look at some user-centred techniques for interrogating who your own audience are (or could be), and how you can create a plan to both give them what they want and result in what you want to achieve.
Thu 18 March 2025, 2–4pm
Location: Online via Zoom
Trainer: Alis Templeton
This training will help you to understand how to plan for audience development and how to use data effectively, both your own and external sources, to help you develop your audiences to be more diverse and inclusive. By the end of the session, you’ll be ready to start action planning for audience development and monitor and evaluate your progress.
