It will bring schools and families into museum and gallery spaces as well as historic houses, inviting primary school children aged 7-11 to explore the animals in their collections and create stories and pictures that imagine a creature’s journey to a future habitat rich in biodiversity. The things they make in the classroom, online and in museums will be brought together in a collective work of art, unveiled during a weekend of activities for all ages on Earth Day 2023 (Saturday 22nd April).<a href="https://mduk.org.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Museum Development England</a> is working in partnership with <a href="https://www.artfund.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Art Fund</a> to distribute grant funding to support publicly accessible museums, galleries, and historic houses to deliver activity as part of The Great Escape.T﻿his briefing session will support galleries, historic houses and museums to learn about:<ul><li>T﻿he Great Escape project </li><li>T﻿he funding available to support your participation in The Great Escape including eligibility, grants available, scheme dates etc.,</li><li>T﻿op tips to consider when writing your grant application </li></ul>Participants will also have the opportunity to ask their questions direct to the funder.W﻿ho should attend?<ul><li>S﻿taff or volunteers based at galleries, historic houses and museums in England interested in participating in The Great Escape.</li></ul>How will this session be delivered and what equipment do I need?This session will be delivered online using Zoom a cloud based video conferencing service.
