Coffee and Connect - Kids in Museums

Coffee and Connect are informal sessions offering sector insights and the opportunity to network with colleagues from across the Midlands area.

Each Coffee and Connect will have a theme, usually with a guest speaker.

Our guest speaker is Laura Bedford from Kids in Museums who will be discussing the Kids in Museums Manifesto.

Join us for an informal virtual briefing and Q&A session to help you think about low and no cost changes you could make to enhance your museum’s family provision using the Kids in Museums Manifesto.

The Kids in Museums Manifesto is a set of simple guidelines for museums, heritage sites and cultural organisations, which is updated every two years. Between October and December 2024, Kids in Museums consulted hundreds of children, young people and families about what makes a heritage site a great place to visit. In this session, Laura will introduce the new version of the Manifesto, along with low and no cost changes you could make to improve your museum for a family audience.

You can also find out about the Kids in Museums Manifesto Self-Assessment Tool, which can support you to do a light touch self-audit of how well your museum or heritage site meets the Kids in Museums Manifesto. The Kids in Museums Manifesto Self-Assessment Tool is particularly aimed those with limited budgets.
