Deadline: 24 February
Do you have a compelling story to share about your experiences in developing or delivering museum learning and community engagement projects? Have you led an educational or outreach activity that stands out, or learned valuable lessons you’d like to pass on?
Irish Museums Association (IMA) invite proposals for presentations at this year’s Education and Outreach (Ed+O) Forum, presented by the Irish Museums Association in collaboration with NI Museums Council.
They are seeking dynamic and innovative 15 minute presentations that align with one or more of the following categories:
- Museums as Civic Spaces: Share projects or institutional approaches that highlight your museum/organisation’s role as a community hub.
- Making Exhibitions and Artefacts Accessible: Discuss how you bring exhibitions and artefacts to life for different audiences.
- Reflecting Community Diversity: Highlight how your work actively reflects and engages with the diversity of your communities.
- Valuable Lessons or Proud Achievements: Present an educational or outreach activity you’re particularly proud of or share insights gained from a past initiative.
In addition, they welcome ‘project surgery’ proposals. If you’re designing or delivering a project and need fresh ideas, partnerships, or input from the sector, this is your chance to seek feedback and inspiration.
Send your proposal by 17:00 on Monday, 24 February 2025 to Margarita Vásquez Cárdenas at programme@irishmuseums.org.
