Upcoming Training Opportunities: Museum Development East Midlands

 

An Introduction to Copyright

28th February, 10am-4pm - Sywell Aerodrome, Wellingborough

Copyright compliance is an important issue for museums and heritage sites, and also a requirement of being an Accredited museum. Any heritage organisation will have multiple and constant issues relating to copyright which will underpin content and collection acquisition, loans, creation, commissioning, use and curation. This means that staff and volunteers need to understand how copyright works, its application to collections management, its relationship to digitisation and how they can navigate more complex issues about orphan works, social media and creative commons licences.

 

This workshop, run by leading copyright specialist – Naomi korn – will provide an overview about the key issues presented in a powerpoint free and interactive learning environment. All the sessions will be supported by handouts and time will be provided for group discussions, scenarios and questions. To book your place, please click here.

 

 

Customer Care - young people and families
28th February, 10am-3pm -  The Angel, Market Harborough

MDEM's Mystery Shopper programme has provided valuable feedback about the impact of customer care and the role of museum staff on the experience of younger visitors. This training session will be led by consultants Laura Malpas and Davey Ivens, and will challenge delegates to think about their approach to customer care; helping to identify and adopt the skills, attitudes and behaviours needed to make our spaces are welcoming to young people.

Aimed at front-of-house / gallery staff and volunteers as well as their managers and trustees. We welcome several delegates from a museum to attend the training. To book your place, please click here.
