About this training

 

During this session, we will be exploring the process of developing and delivering a family exhibition with practical tips and ideas.

 

This training webinar will be led by Sarah Shaw, former National Family Interpretation Manager for English Heritage. Her work included collaboratively designing family friendly experiences with families at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Birdoswald Roman Fort, which won the Best Family Day Out UK Heritage Award in 2020. She was also the project manager for the Marvellous and Mischievous: Literature’s Young Rebels exhibition at York Art Gallery in 2023.

 

The session will help delegates to:

 

  • discuss how to plan for families in exhibitions

  • find out how to use learning and play styles for interpretation and resources

  • learn top tips for developing family friendly exhibitions

  • think about how you consult with families to develop your provision

  • hear ideas for wider improvements to your family visitor experience.

 

Take a look at the full schedule.
