Museum Learning Network
Working collaboratively with a wide range of museum learning practitioners, Museum Development Midlands (MDM) is committed to honouring the voice of these practitioners and developing a Museum Learning Network that offers a safe and supportive forum for the sharing of good practice, resources, ideas, knowledge and experiences. A network that has collaboration and sharing at its heart.
MDM will strive to grow a community of practice providing strategic support based on robust needs analysis through ongoing consultation. Through the network MDM will deliver high quality training and development, and mechanisms that ‘connect’ practitioners in a purposeful way (both on-line and face to face). The shared goal is to better develop innovative and creative ways of supporting museum learning and ensure best outcomes for all.
- Co-constructed by delegates attending “Co-Constructing a Museum Learning Network” 2024.

Trustees Network
Consultant Lucy Marder is running MDM’s Midlands Trustee Network. Lucy has extensive museum sector experience and a track record of facilitating peer to peer leadership networks.
For 2024-25 there will be four network events from September through to the spring. The Facebook online community provides a channel for peer exchange, event information, resources and links to relevant funders. Find out more about the Facebook page.
Lucy’s goal is to deliver a relevant and engaging programme that meets Trustees needs and complements other relevant support offers.
