Book now for Reach Out: Engaging Younger Audiences with Museums - 6 December 2023

 

Engaging young audiences is no easy task for museums, but the rise of participatory practice has led many museums to build strong relationships with youth communities, particularly those from marginalised backgrounds, and ensure their voices are accurately represented in institutions.

 

This event offers practical advice and case studies that demonstrate how museums can build equitable and sustainable relationships with underserved audiences such as teenagers and young adults, which centre their voices and wellbeing.

 

Prices for this one-day conference start from as little as £30.

 

Speakers include:

Dhikshana Turakhia Pering, Chair

Alison Bowyer, Executive Director, Kids in Museums

Su Hepburn, Head of Learning and Engagement, Brighton Museums

Harvinder Bahra, Community Engagement Manager, Chiswick House & Gardens

Jennifer Keenan, Learning and Access Curator, Kelvingrove Museum
