Join the South East and London Museum Development Accreditation Advisers for a workshop designed to support Accreditation Mentors as well as offering the chance to meet other Mentors working in the south east.

Who should attend?

This workshop is aimed at all current and prospective Accreditation Mentors working or living in the South East and London. If you are interested in becoming an Accreditation Mentor you are most welcome to book a place to ask questions and meet other Mentors in the region.

It offers the opportunity to learn about how to offer museums support and challenge and will enable you to meet others actively involved in mentoring.

• Roz Currie, Director of Wycombe Museum, mentor for the Museum of the Royal Philatelic Society London

This session will cover:

• What do we mean by ‘support’ and ‘challenge’?
• Case study presentations from Accreditation Mentors in London and the South East
