Presentation slides from our 'Lighting the cauldron - Young people and cultural organisations' conference at the Museum of London, Thursday 25 October 2012.
As part of the Cultural Olympiad, Arts Council England's Stories of the World programme transformed the opportunities open to young participants and challenged museums to make lasting change to how they operate by embedding young people at the heart of their decision-making.
The conference brought together project partners, key thinkers and influencers from across the cultural sector to explore what has changed and how to take forward youth engagement and co-production. The conference explored what museums can learn from Stories of the world and how this learning can be applied to the wider cultural sector.
Hannah Fox, Silk Mill Project Director, Derby Museums Trust
ow tech, hi-tech, bi-tech, little tech – whatever the type of scale, technology provides the tools, methods and materials… but it’s what we do with them that counts. In a world where museums need to push boundaries and our comfort levels to survive and thrive, how might we use these tools and human-centred design to disrupt the form of designing and making our museums in ways that ensure they have relevance and sustainability.
Hannah will share the internationally-acclaimed approaches being used by Derby Museums to develop their sites and programmes – including their redevelopment of the Silk Mill, site of the world’s first factory, as the Museum of Making – challenging us to expand perspectives on what ‘makes a museum’.
Hannah is the Project Director for the re-development of Derby Silk Mill; the site of the world’s first factory; as a new Museum of Making. By embedding co-production and human centred design methodologies into a major museum development, citizen curators and makers are at the heart of the £17m project to ‘make’ the Museum of Making. This project features in several national and international publications, including Nina Simon’s latest book “The Art of Relevance”. Hannah is a National Arts Strategies Creative Communities Fellow – a global network of cultural and social entrepreneurs, She also mentors staff and organisations working in cross-sector projects for social impact and is a board member of FIGMENT, a global participatory arts programme.
Critical Digital Museum Practice in the Context of New Capitalism: Tactics, S...Museums Computer Group
Alexandra Reynolds, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Southampton Solent University
Theorists have explicitly called for the development of digital cultural projects which move beyond the simple circulation or documentation of information to actively address socio-cultural concerns. How can we work to meet this challenge when rendering marginalised subjectivities visible can paradoxically lead to their assimilation into mainstream power structures? Alexandra will explore a range of recent participatory digital archival projects in museums and wider cultural organisations which aim to address social, cultural or political issues; and evaluate tactics and strategies for effective future practice.

Esitys Hanasaaressa Kati Nurmen kanssa 31.10.2019 Living heritage in the nordic countries
International conference on the role of communities and the possibility for the sustainable societies
Museums Galleries Scotland has teamed up with Daydream Believers to create Marseum, an out-of-this-world learning resource for schools, museums, and galleries. Delegates will be introduced to this exciting project and discover how their organisations can get involved.
Marseum was developed as part of the MGS Workforce for the Future programme, a Scotland-wide youth employability project delivered in partnership with Developing the Young Workforce. Through Workforce for the Future, Pupils from lower Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) areas work with their local museum or gallery to co-create an exhibition, learn about roles in the sector and develop their employability skills.
Following the Scottish Government’s acceptance of the Empire, Slavery and Scotland’s Museums report and recommendations, this session will look at the museum sector’s response to this report.
Speakers will also highlight the Delivering Change anti-oppression programme and discuss how museums and galleries can place anti-oppression principles at the heart of their work.
The Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre (TAEC) is an independent, non-profit museum dedicated to promoting the appreciation and preservation of cultural diversity in Lao PDR. Like most museums, TAEC maintains a collection of artefacts, curates exhibitions, and promotes scholarship and learning through research and outreach activities. However, TAEC is also a museum representing living cultures in a developing country context, and as such faces a unique set of challenges for which it has developed specific approaches.
In a country with low education levels and a lack of museum and non-traditional learning opportunities, simply drawing in Lao visitors and creating a meaningful experience for them requires creativity and active visitor management. TAEC has developed a range of activities for children visiting the museum and also conducts sessions in schools to broaden its reach. Attracting adults has remained more elusive. To facilitate the building of further cultural heritage resources in Laos, TAEC conducts capacity-building activities for government staff of museums, NGO workers, and tourism professionals.
TAEC’s most challenging but meaningful objective is to promote cultural pride and revitalisation within ethnic minority communities themselves. TAEC has explored approaches including an ethnic minority intern programme, collaborative exhibition development with villages, and an ethnic cultural festival. Recognising that rural ethnic communities are amongst Laos’ poorest populations, TAEC also runs a handicrafts development programme, generating income for over 600 artisans in 11 provinces of the country.
TAEC views all these approaches (and others) as part of its education and advocacy programmes, and crucial to the sustainability of the organisation, its mission, and cultural heritage management itself. The challenge is how to progress from simply educating local populations to understand and value the idea of cultural diversity, to adopting the task of fostering cultural diversity, and finally, to taking leadership in their own communities to tackle their specific cultural heritage issues through home-grown approaches.
New and already known technologies will become an even greater part of our common life. The Digital School will exploit this development for the benefit of students, staff and management. Students will learn to use digital competences creatively and innovatively, so they can engage in new and more ways to act and learn. The digital school focuses on 21st century skills: Critical thinking, communication and collaboration, innovation, complex problem solving, technological mastery and digital citizenship.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Lighting the cauldron - Young people and cultural organisations
1. Lighting the cauldron
Sharing our stories #ypculture
Thursday 25 October, Museum of London
Welcome: Moira Sinclair, Arts Council England
2. Don’t put us in
a box:
Junction youth
panel’s top tips
to museums
Lucie Fitton, Senior Community Collaboration Manager
lfitton@museumoflondon.org.uk
Miki Webb, Junction youth panellist
Shakira Malkani, Junction youth panellist
3. What did the Museum of London
learn from being part of Stories of
the World?
• Real co-curation and co-
production is hard work
but brings positive change
for our organisation
• We Junction - the long
term input of our youth
panel is vital to successful
collaboration with young
people in the future.
4. Don’t put me in a box (or
a case)
• Stereotypes and perceptions
of young people as
portrayed in the media are a
myth
• Many of us are hard working
and passionate
• Young people are all
different from each other
• Always consult young people
during the planning stages of
projects.
5. It’s all about me
• Knowledge is power
• Learning flows when it relates to
who we are as individuals
• Historical context falls into place
through exploring relevance to
our lives
• We want to be part of
something – a participant not
just an audience member
• Different creative routes into the
collections suit different young
people
• You can learn as much from me
as I can learn from you.
6. We like freeness
• Make it free – there is stiff
competition for our money
and time
• Make sure we aren’t out of
pocket – cover travel and
feed us – this means no one
misses out
• Museums are well placed to
offer exciting opportunities
for young people to have fun
and gain skills – especially
as so many other youth
services are being even
harder hit in the cuts.
7. This ain’t the Roman
days
• …but contemporary issues
can be used as a route into
the past and connect us to
the world we live in
• Museums should get
involved in current and
even taboo and hard-hitting
issues.
8. Popping the social
media bubble
• Remember we don’t all have access
to social media
• If we do, we use it to connect to
friends – not look up museum
information
• Social media shouldn’t be the main
driving purpose of your project – but
it’s a great tool for exploring the past
• It is a successful way to showcase
and celebrate our work
• Don’t forget to train us on how to
use twitter, blogs and other media =
new skills.
9. Treat your museum like a
YouTube video – it needs to
go viral
• Get young people
talking about your
museum – word of
mouth is best
• What makes your

24. ‘Coll-education’
The chicken and egg
of collections and education
Esther Amis-Hughes and Stephanie Webb

25. What is ‘Colleducation’
‘Colleducation is the
accidental and entirely
unintentional marrying
of collections and
education until you
cannot see the start of
one and the end of the
other’
OED 2020, 305th edition
26. The poster pin up of
Colleducation
• Antonia’s expertise
and willingness to
get out any items,
and to share her
extensive
knowledge was of
benefit to us, and all
Yorkshire partners
29. How did ‘Colleducation’ meet?
• Early education sessions
and ‘challenges’
• Early lessons:
- Broaden collection themes
- Get curators to help with
outreach
- Realise objects are the
fundamental point and
without them I am just a
slightly odd woman who
talks a lot
31. Colleducation’s Monster
• If objects are our unique selling point –
let’s see what happens if our ‘education
programme’ (the Exhibition Team) choose
the objects, research them, write
interpretation …
32. Colleducation’s Monster
Object Research
- Enhanced knowledge
- Increased information
on TMS
- Experts created
- New books published
- New research into
‘forgotten’ areas
36. Colleducation lessons
• Collections are at the heart of education programmes
• In order for this to work, you need to be willing to hand
over control and expect anything
• Boundaries need to be in place – and need to be
explained to everyone (for example human remains)
• Don’t compromise. Try it. It leads to amazing things. It
is refreshing working with people who were less aware of
practical considerations and were just willing to work
hard to make their vision a reality. (I was constantly
asked ‘Why not?’, so I had to have a good reason for
saying no to things!)
37. Why was it a successful marriage?
• Because the collections
and education programme
were so closely linked that
they were indistinguishable
• The ‘education programme’
was running our exhibition
• Because the ‘process’ was
educational, so the end
result was educational
