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.

Azores: An Entrepreneurial Future in the Creative EconomyCreative Startups
"Start from where you come from, first." The islands of the Azores have been isolated and remain untouched by mass tourism. Eco and agritourism opportunities await. We are partnering with regional government and higher education leaders to bring knowledge and relationships that build markets and, eventually businesses and family incomes.
Campfire is a blueprint for social networking which we believe addresses a currently untapped niche in the creative community. It has been devised and is led by social entrepreneur Pete Lawrence, the founder of the successful Cooking Vinyl record label and Big Chill festivals. The Big Chill was well known for its thriving and proactive online community before the current mainstream social networks were established.
Campfire aims to be different. We want to build a complete ecosystem for the inspired and imaginative person thinking about culture and creative practice; arts meets science meets activism meets crafts meets funding meets social interaction.
It is clear that there exists a large, untapped demographic who are actively engaged in the creative industries, are wary of commercial interests impacting on their social networking experiences and are brand-aware trendsetters and tastemakers looking for something fulfilling, informative and practical, in order to make tangible the things that are presently intangible. Turning dreams into reality.
We hope you will find our Campfire circle warm and inviting, as well as being productive and fun.
Launch is scheduled for 2015, and we will announce our first event plans upon launch.
In Memory of Alan Dean 1958 - 2021
No one vision is sufficient in and of itself – visions can guide but only by collaborative action in a creative generative process can visions grow and become part of an ongoing positive sociocultural reality.
Without taking into account the many worldviews that currently co-exist and crafting ways of including them in a positive and healthy form we will continue to alienate vast sections of all communities and humankind.

Editor's Notes
A change agent, or agent of change, is someone who intentionally or indirectly causes or accelerates social, cultural, or behavioral change.As the time to end another year with PLP comes to a close I hope you are seeing yourself as an agent of change.Questions for the Change Agent in You1. Do you see opportunities for positive change that others at your school do not see?It was French novelist Marcel Proust, who famously said, “The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but in seeing with new eyes.” The most successful change agents don’t do more… they do differently. They redefine the terms of education by embracing one-of-a-kind ideas in a culture of me-too thinking.2. Do you have new ideas about where to look for new ideas?One way to look at problems as if you’re seeing them for the first time is to look outside of education for ideas that have been working for a long time. Ideas that are routine in one situation can be revolutionary when they migrate to another, especially when they challenge the prevailing assumptions that have come to define school culture.3. Are you the most of anything?You ideas for educational reform can’t be “pretty good” – they need to be “really good”. They need to be the most of something: the most affordable, the most accessible, the most elegant, the most colorful, the most transparent, the most kids– you get the idea.4. If your idea or mission didn’t come forth, who would miss you and why?Jim Collins of Good to Great fame talks about this. The question is simple — and worth taking seriously as a guide to what really matters. As a change agent do you add value or just create noise?5. Have you figured out how your school’s history can help to shape its future?Psychologist Jerome Bruner describes what happens when we use what works to define what is new. The essence of creativity, he argues, is “figuring out how to use what you already know in order to go beyond what you already think.” The most creative leaders don’t disavow the past. They rediscover and reinterpret what’s come before as a way to develop a line of sight into what comes next.6. Are you getting the best contributions from the most people?The change is not a game best played by loners. These days, the most powerful contributions come from the most unexpected places — the “hidden genius” inside your PLN, the “collective genius” of other smart people who surround you. The wisdom of the crowd. Do you know how to tap genius? Have you used this year to help build your PLN?7. Are you consistent in your commitment to change?Often, in today’s world, schools are accused of not having the guts to change. In fact, the problem with many schools is that all they do is change. They lurch from one unfounded idea to the next, from the most recent instructional fad to the newest technology craze. If, as a change agent, a leader, you want to make deep-seated change, then your priorities and practices have to stay consistent in good times and bad– even when you hit what Michael Fullan describes as the “implementation dip”. Action research can help you target what works and guide you in developing a long term plan toward positive change.8. Are you learning as fast as the world is changing?In a world that never stops changing, great leaders can never stop learning. How do you push yourself as an individual to keep growing and evolving so as a result, your school can do the same?
