Read the full September Newsletter from South West Museum Development
September marks the start of a new season, as we look ahead to the remainder of the year. What better way to mark a new season than with the launch of our autumn SW Museum Skills programme? We have a blend of informal drop-in sessions and structured training available on a wide range of subjects, from audiences to volunteering and more.
In addition, we’re opening our last two grant schemes of the year: Talking Nature and round 2 of Capacity Builder. The Talking Nature grant encourages museums to co-develop projects with school partners to explore the natural world and consider the environmental crisis. Capacity Builder offers grants to help develop skills and build confidence amongst those working and volunteering in museums. If you’re thinking of applying, make sure you get in touch with your local, placed based Museum Development Officer for advice.
In this newsletter you’ll also find your usual round up of sector news and specialist advice, as well as sector grants.
