In this three-part workshop participants will be guided through using parts of the Digital Culture Compass to complete an assessment of some of their museum’s digital activities.

Participants will leave with the confidence, tools and resources needed to complete the full toolkit within their own organisation, involving their staff, volunteers and trustees in the process.

Who should attend?

This process is aimed at museum workers who are engaged in digital work or responsible for digital strategy on behalf of a museum or heritage organisation in the south east of England.

Two members of staff from each participating museum should attend to ensure that they are able to enact and embed change more effectively within their organisation.

This could include board members and senior & team leaders from non-NPO, Accredited museums or Working Towards Accreditation, who may attend free of charge. Ideally the second member of staff or volunteer would be involved in the digital activities of the museum.

What’s involved?

This online course will encourage active learning and plenty of discussion for a small group of up to 16 delegates from 8 museums.

You will attend 3 online workshops each lasting between 2hrs and scheduled across several weeks.

We will encourage active learning and host plenty of discussion opportunities, and there will be some short self-led workshop exercises in between sessions for participants to complete.
