Museums Development East Midlands and Kids in Museums are pleased to be launching their partnership support programme for museums in the region, focusing on creating a family friendly museums environment for participating organisations.
This programme aims to:
- Support museums who do not have a dedicated learning member of staff to become more family friendly organisations.
- Understand the motivations and barriers for family audiences visiting museums.
- Learn how to develop family friendly interpretation which can help staff to create labels, trails and other resources for families.
- Promote your family provision to a wider family audience.
- Enable museums to embed family friendliness as an organisation.
- Provide museums with online training sessions, peer group meetings, one to one support, resources and signposting.
