I know this group is wonderful for helping get the creative juices flowing when you are stuck in a mental mire every once in a while J

Well said Jo - always great to share and hear ideas from a wide range of people whether you work individually or in a team.

First of all I would like to thank those of the GEM community who have so far been generous enough to share their past ideas and kind offers of coming along to see what they have produced as freelancers etc.

 

I would also like to clarify that Amanda Philipson is very close to the truth of the matter.  As part of my position (in effect team leader) it is my responsibility to research and develop the ideas for interpretation of events, schools, family learning etc. Only once I have a plan approved by the Manager are other interpretation staff then drawn in to assist with delivery, and research & development if they are interested (it is not technically part of their role).  

 

I approached the wonderful folk of the GEM group as I have always found almost everyone willing to share their advice, expertise and experience in the past, and I always try to do the same whenever I can – this is a crucial part of what I consider to be the value of GEM.

Shouldn't this be an internal team exercise? - an opportunity for your own collleagues and volunteers to make contributions rather than relying on staff and volunteers who don't work for your museum and might want to use their own ideas first before sharing? There's a chance for professional development.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

 

Yes I know Easter is not until next April.  However we are already planning our publicity for the next few months and Easter will feature in it.  So I need to think about ideas for engaging and creative activities exploring the traditions of the British Easter.  Any ideas?  Our ideal age range is 6+ yrs if that helps.

 

We normally combine our activities with a presentation of some kind and I need to keep it simple.
