Hello, I am looking for contact details for engagement officers at a number of museums. I ran a successful outreach and engagement event 'Future Animals' an artist/museum/university collaboration delivering events to three groups of between 10 and 15, 14-19 year olds . For more details please see NCCPE case study http://www.publicengagement.ac.uk/how/case-studies/future-animals . We are now applying for Wellcome funding to roll this out to other regions. We put a call out via the NCCPE network and other contact and we now have a number of universities and some museums, however we do not have contact for all the Education Outreach officers. The event has a time dimension past, present and future (animal domestication in particular wolf to dog is the past, modern dog breeds the present and the participants create future animals via art work) and we have worked as an archaeology (partic zooarchaeology i.e. bones) and biosciences collaboration and at the National Museum Wales we worked with the biosci outreach officer. So far we have identified the following locations, zooarchaeologist, universities and suggested museums. I have asked the zooarchaeologist to make links with the museums but thought the direct approach would also be good. Apart from Manchester, Sheffield and Reading where we have good links, do you work for any of the following museums or do you have a suggested museum? I also know that Norwich were interested but I am having trouble identifying a suitable set of partners. London James Morris UCL?
