Dear All
Thanks Nick for highlighting this.
Can I add one other element to the mix for Museums at Night?
Museums at Night coincides with the final weekend of Adult Learners' Week 2012 (12-20 May).
NIACE (England) and NIACE Dysgu Cymru (Wales), together with other agencies in Scotland (SALP) and Northern Ireland (EGSA) organise significant press, media and PR work to get adults to engage in free, fun, learning activity, with the aim of re-engaging them with their lifelong learning journeys.
It would be fantastic if you could all put ALW in your diaries now, and perhaps think about how you might engage adults and/or families in your Museums at Night activities.
Here in Wales we produce hard copy "What's On Guides" for ALW and we will be more than happy to have M@N events listed if they are relevant to adults. Can I ask you to put an alert in your Outlook calendars to contact NIACE Dysgu Cymru in October 2011 (this is when out planning cycle starts. For NIACE England you can contact the campaigns team on 0116 2044200. Scotland and NI please check SALP and EGSA websites).
You will gain FREE additional national, and local promotional coverage for your events.
What do I gain? Well, I've been banging on about the adult learning potential in museums for the past 7 years and I think this synergy between the two campaigns is THE opportunity to highlight this potential.
I really want this to work in 2012. I'm more than happy to help with ideas, contacts etc (with local adult learning providers etc).
If you are a museum in Wales, we can get some funding to you if you are part of one of our 22 Learning Festival planning groups. For your local contact give me a shout.
Cheers
Essex
PS Nick, give me a shout to see how NIACE and M@N can work together strategically. 029 2037 0900
