We had a great meeting today with our Area Reps to talk about our new vision for GEM and how we can expand our membership and keep offering great resources, networks and events. Look out for exciting changes/updates moving forward. 🙌 #StrongerGEM#StrongerSector @McrMuseum
Our posters celebrating uniqueness and raising understanding have arrived & being sent to all our wonderful GP surgeries we have created books for 😊👍
Key recommendations for Gemmers from #DurhamCommission are:
•A clearer focus on digital tech & creative education
•Standard KS3 curriculum inclusion of arts and a National Plan for Cultural Education
•Creative opportunities out of school hours and in the world of work
The winner of the #FamilyFriendlyMuseum Award 2019 is… @carnegiemuseum! 🎉
The museum is our first ever Scottish winner. 🏴 It received glowing reviews from our family judges for its welcoming staff, colour-coded family zones and great facilities. Congratulations!!
Here are my top 10 quickfire takeaways from #GEM2019@gem_heritage conference, told via the medium of gifs.
1. Ask "who is not in the room and why?" - often it is because museums are not doing enough for those people to actively participate
So great to #connect with everyone @learnlf today. It's been lovely being part of the group & as I step down from the secretary role I'd like to say thank you to everyone for their support and wish Amy @EghamMuseum good luck as she takes over the role
#museum5aday
It’s great to be at @MaryRoseMuseum for the @LearnLF AGM... looking forward to hearing from everyone in the Time to Shine slots this afternoon and telling the group about our recent Back in Time for Lunch project with EdAble Social Kitchen

Happy Sunday! A bit late drumming up interest in tomorrow's #MuseumHour, but who are we kidding, all the cool kids know about it anyway.
Join in tomorrow's discussion where we take a bit of a deep dive into how museums are (or aren't!) becoming more green/eco-friendly.
