Reflecting Exercise – Leaders, Movers and Shakers

Think about Public engagement and public benefit:

  • What organisations are doing this well?
  • Whose practice do you admire?
  • What are they doing?
  • What change are they creating?
  • What impact are they making?

An example of a museum that has thought about socially engaged practice and what that might mean ethically is the Whitworth Art Gallery,  in relation to their work with mindfulness and dementia. 

More examples of good and innovative practice can be found in the Museums Journal – understanding which organisations are leading practice in this way can help you innovate your own practice and programming by learning from them.

Reflect on whether this is something that would work in your organisation or your practice?

This should take about 30 minutes.
