Doing Exercise – Reaching out

Imagine you are reaching out to a community organisation for the first time, to explore how you could work together.

  • How will you introduce yourself and the work of your organisation?
  • What could the museum offer to the community organisation?
  • What questions or ideas could you use to help identify shared areas of interest for the museum and community organisation?

We suggest doing this by role-playing being in a meeting with the lead contact from the community organisation. Perhaps you could ask a colleague or peer to support you in practising this role-play.

Spend 20 minutes doing this exercise, and record your insights in your notes.
