Think about these questions as they relate to working with communities.
- Why do you want to work with communities?
- What inspires you?
- What motivates you?
- How does this relate to your values, or the values of your museum or a museum you are familiar with?
Understanding your own motivations for wanting to work in partnership with communities can help you develop your ‘pitch’ to influence within your museum and in the sector in general.
This exercise should take about 15 minutes and begin to get you thinking.
Please record your learning in your reflection notes, you will refer to them again during the course.
