Wahay! Working with children again! Massive boost right before Christmas. It’s been a frustrating year in lots of ways with delays and issues outside of my control. Had to learn to **breathe**. Here’s to a more “lifted” 2022 in every way!

We're back #MMInflatableMuseum

[Mcr Museum Learning & Engagement @MM_Connects]

We had a GREAT time delivering these BOTANY BAY workshops at @OswaldRoad and @MedlockPS last week!! We can't wait to see where this project goes next 🌽🌶️☕🦋🌿

Sad to have lurgied-out of #Museums2021 live today, but caught some great sessions online. Particularly great to hear the L&E manifesto applying to EVERYONE, @NtlMuseumsScot on super practical digital schools stuff, and @NewarkMuseumArt on some super playful participatory ideas.

Pleased to premiere my new advert for @Shell in which I play CEO Ben Van Beurden repeatedly shitting out of his mouth.

[Amy McDowall @amymcdwl]

So excited to launch the call for pilot schools for this new immersive experience for young people, exploring what we can learn about wellbeing from this fascinating civilisation.

Brilliant from my colleague on how museums can enable nature connectedness (and all the eg well-being benefits of that) for those of us without green space on doorsteps. 🐼🌱🐡🌻🐚🍄🦒

Missed @Cat_Lumb today 😢 but really excited to continue the amazing stuff we worked on together. #ShabtisInSchools

[Dr Campbell Price @EgyptMcr]

Excited to be part of this afternoon's @MM_Connects teachers training session for this year's intake of our award-winning 'Shabtis in Schools' programme 🥳

[Mcr Museum Learning & Engagement @MM_Connects]

So excited for this new person to join us! Could it be you??

[Mcr Museum Learning & Engagement @MM_Connects]

Great meeting with @Monument_Men, @3D_Leigh and @EgyptMcr about this amazing new 3D render of an ancient Egyptian healing temple, which we’ll be using to explore ancient and modern approaches to #wellbeing

[Amy McDowall @amymcdwl]

@gem_heritage Thanks, all good now!

[Amy McDowall @amymcdwl]

Thanks to @WhitworthArt for a really lovely morning on Saturday at their summer art garden activities. Chatted to the family of a 19 month old who’d never played with other children before - these opportunities are so important ❤️

[Amy McDowall @amymcdwl]

This job is going to be AMAZING. Massive variety of work and huge opportunities to develop your museum learning practice in an ambitious, award-winning department. Come and work with me, and spread the word!!

[Mcr Museum Learning & Engagement @MM_Connects]

Manchester Museum may be closing ... but the team is still busy enough to be recruiting! We're hiring a full time Learning Programme Assistant for 2 years, to work with schools in our Inflatable Museum and on-site as we reopen next year. Could this be you??https://t.co/Khn9VwbDGu

@JECLeach @McrMuseum She's almost 18 months - time has flown! Absolutely, drop us a line if you're in the area x

[Amy McDowall @amymcdwl]

Brought the baby into work for the first time today. She absolutely loved it. Wonderful to see @McrMuseum through these tiny eyes 🥲 - it really is an amazing place.
