This short and informal online session is a chance for museum staff and volunteers across the Midlands to come together to share ideas and learning.
The theme for this session is ‘The Wild Escape’. Alongside the usual chance to network and share recent experiences in delivering educational sessions with peers from across the region it will be a chance for delegates to hear about recent projects relating to the Art Fund Wild Escapes initiative. This is a major creative project for museums and schools inspired by the wildlife found in museum and gallery collections.

- A chance to informally talk to others in the region about the current situation with museum learning in schools.
