In October we were asked by the Migration Museum based in London to help facilitate a workshop for their event with a number of orgs and institutional leaders at Leicester Museum. We decided to think through issues around stumbling blocks when conducting projects around community work, community ethics as well as inclusion & representation. Fascinating dialogue with not enough time with these leaders when discussing when communities wish to co-create in a way that as leaders of the projects may be uncomfortable with. Special thanks to Emily Miller from Migration Museum for working hard to make sure the event was a success and also to our friends at Derby Museums for helping brokering the relationship with the Migration Museum. All in all a great discussion to ensure the group we don’t have all the answers and we can support each other through differing levels of experience.
