Dear all,
I just wanted to make you aware of a group of new resources, designed with and for creative practitioners, learning facilitators and community organisations hoping to engage
with objects and collections in creative ways, put together as a legacy of the Talking Objects Collective object-based youth engagement project at the British Museum.
The resources are themed around four creative media which were key to the Talking Objects methodology: Drama and Performance, Dance and Movement, Art and Design, and Storytelling,
and illustrate the potential offered by creative exploration in the British Museum. We have also brought together some of the adaptable object-based and warm up activities used in the Community Partnerships Team with various audiences.
While the resources are based on work bringing young people together with objects at the BM, the activities are designed to be adaptable for different audiences in different
museums and gallery settings.
Resources can be found here:
