Doing Exercise – Community Asset Identification

There are a range of assets within the community, for example: 

  • Community spaces that could be hired to share information about the museum collection.
  • Specialist knowledge about people’s experience of being disabled.
  • Oral history knowledge
  • Insights into cultures or periods of time represented at the museum
  • Specific skills and expertise 
  • With a colleague, a peer, a museum visitor, or someone local you know, create a list, diagram or drawing of some of the assets within the local community that may support partnership working and projects.

This exercise should take about 30 minutes.

Please record your learning in your reflection notes.
