Green Narratives Programme Information Event

This information event is the ideal opportunity the learn more about Museum Development Midland’s upcoming Green Narratives programme.

Developed and delivered by sector leaders, Climate Museum UK (CMUK), the Green Narratives programme will increase museums’ knowledge, confidence and practice in re-interpreting collections, telling new stories and engaging visitors around Environmental Responsibility.

Through the programme a small cohort of four museums will be supported to develop their work with collections and audiences to better understand, communicate and inspire learning about sustainability and foster climate action. This support will include in-person and online training, peer networking and 1:1 mentoring.

Join CMUK and MDM to hear more about the programme, meet the trainers, and connect with other museums interested in this area of work.
