The Improving Access project is an exploration to learn how we can improve access to the heritage sector’s workforce and understand the current barriers that people looking to enter the workforce face. The project was made possible by funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Young Foundation’s Heritage Innovation Fund.
To share the learning of the Improving Access’ initial exploration phase, the project’s steering group are hosting a Spring Symposium. This symposium will discuss the project’s learnings and facilitate conversations with the sector, encouraging organisations to input into the implementation of the project’s recommendations and testing of any future pilot approaches. The event will be open to the historic environment sector, funding groups and community organisations engaging in accessibility work.
To learn more about the Improving Access project, see the project page https://www.museumsgalleriesscotland.org.uk/project/improving-access/ or get in touch with mar.roigeoliver@hes.scot
This invite is for in person attendance to the Spring Symposium. Please note that our event space is physically accessible. Please let us know in advance of the event if you have any requirements such as dietary needs, require handouts in advance and/or in alternative formats such as Braille or large print, or access needs such as wheelchair access or the provision of hearing loops.
