MuseumWIDE – helping museums to be welcoming, inclusive, diverse and equitable
About the project
MuseumWIDE is a new training and grants programme that aims to help museums in the south east on their journey to be more Welcoming, Inclusive, Diverse and Equitable.
We are working with Isilda Almeida - a specialist consultant in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) - to develop a new scheme of work that helps museums embed and develop EDI across their workforce, governance, programming, and collections.
We are recruiting a cohort of 10 museums who want to take their Equity and Inclusion agenda forward. The cohort will have access to a wide range of online training sessions and 1-2-1 support from Isilda.
Museums will start by completing a new, ground-breaking self-assessment to evaluate their current EDI position, determine their aspirations for the future, and make plans to meet their goals.
Training starts on the 18 November 2021 with online sessions taking place every Thursday at 10.30am. This will be a combination of recorded sessions, online live sessions on Zoom, and online Coffee Chats.
Once the museums have completed the self-assessment and attended the training, they are eligible for a small grant to action the learning they gain from MuseumWIDE.
Deadline for submitting your Expression of Interest is 29 October 2021 (5pm).
