Want to get Involved?
NI Museums Council can help co-ordinate your involvement with Futures For All. Email catherine.doran@nimc.co.uk and specify which of the five strands above you are interested in delivering and who from your team may be interested (e.g. curatorial, education, outreach, marketing, facilities, events, etc).
Want to work collaboratively?
There may be opportunities for 2 or more museums to provide an ‘Employer Bundle’ and combine their efforts to create an insight day or in person work experience offer featuring each venue.
When is this happening?
November is the focused creative careers month so events would preferably happen then. However, the programme is rolling so you are not restricted to this date.
