If you're a museum educator (or interested in learning and education in museums, galleries, libraries, archives, etc), pinning the Museum Ed feed is a GREAT idea for reading & sharing relevant posts (& it'll pick up posts that include the #tag for the @gem.org.uk conference next week)
Less than a week to go until @gem.org.uk #GEMConference2025 so excited to welcome delegates to Leeds. Some brilliant keynote speakers, practical workshops and an exciting trips programme showcasing West Yorkshire. Still time to book a ticket! gem.org.uk/training-and...

As a Bradfordian who lives here but works nationally, it's so inspiring and important to see incredible artwork in display right here in Lister Park that connects with local communities. Well done to all involved for getting it here! 🎉💕

Being a working mum and travelling for work is challenging but luckily my little girl is obsessed with "choo choos" and nursery sent a learning story of Lyra playing with trains and telling her friends mummy goes on the choo choo for work. Just what I needed after such a busy few days! ❤️❤️❤️

Great day at @museumsandheritage.com show with @gem.org.uk spoke to lots of museum people at different stages of their career and hosted a packed networking session. Looking forward to the talks tomorrow and catching up with more #MuseumEd pals!
Really looking forward to catching up with colleagues across the sector with @gem.org.uk - we have a stand in the sector support area, we're hosting a networking session tomorrow at 2pm and running a whole day of learning talks on Thursday in Theatre 3 - come say hello! #MuseumEd
Looking forward to seeing you Rach and supporting the learning talks! #MuseumEd
See you there! 😊
Thank you to the @octopus.energy engineer in Bradford who when my van obsessed daughter was stood at the window looking at his parked up van, he not only waved at her but came and gave her an octopus hat! She just loves vehicles and probably loves hats even more 🤣😍❤️
Thank you to all of the speakers at this session today. Everyone was so open in sharing their lived experiences, sharing their frustrations and their expertise. There is so much work to be done in this area but there's also so many people doing it! #Museums

Thank you to @teakayb.mathsy.space for providing some training on how to use BlueSky for @gem.org.uk area reps yesterday - I learned a lot too! Let's hope we can continue to build the learning #MuseumEd community on here! #MuseumLearning #GEM
Really enjoyed delivering this workshop, some really insightful conversations and already thinking about how we can these these forward into meaningful action to support learning and evaluation colleagues

Thank you to all who attended our workshops at Visitor Studies Group conference on what learning colleagues need support on when it comes to evaluation. Some important conversations and insights!
A glorious day yesterday with @gem.org.uk in Covent Garden and today I'm at London Transport Museum delivering workshops for the Visitor Studies Group Conference!
Another day, another delayed train on a work trip. I have the worst luck, not sure how people who commute everyday do it. It's got to be better than this?!?

Back to work after an extended break whilst my daughter had surgery. It's been a strange couple of weeks but looking forward to some normality and lots of exciting @gem.org.uk events to look forward to! #MusEd #GLAMEd
Can't be in Salford without a quick visit to Imperial War Museum North. Absolutely stunning exhibition 'Chila Welcomes You' and a reminder of some of the thought provoking exhibits in the main gallery #MuseumEd
An overwhelmingly inspirational session #LetsEngage25 @artscouncilengland.bsky.social by a group of speakers advocating for themselves and their peers about how arts and creativity can help youth mental health 💗 #RefreshYourPerspective
