Event details
Based on Stephen’s personal and professional experiences, this event will consider several recommended steps for developing an empathic and effective approach to co-creation with communities in museums.
In addition to sharing these insights, Stephen will also present a range of case studies and lead practice-based exercises.
Participants will be invited to reflect on their current co-creation activities and aspirations while working in small groups in a conversational and comfortable setting.
Participating in practice-based exercises will enhance attendees' understanding of co-creation and how it can be approached in their own museum.
Participants will learn from and be inspired by a selection of case studies that highlight various co-creation approaches and the lessons that can be drawn from them.
Participants will also reflect on their ongoing co-creation plans and projects in supportive surroundings.
To register for the event, potential attendees can access The Co-created Museum: Co-creating with Communities.
