The British Council

Panel discussion and networking reception for cultural professionals, parents, teachers and university students interested in museums. 
Children who visit museums with their parents are much more likely to continue visiting museums in adult life and to take their own children. Learning in the museum offers a unique experience but how can museums support healthier, happier communities? How can extended families get the most from a museum visit?  What happens when children take over a museum for a day?  How can digital technologies encourage participation from people unable to visit a museum? These are just some of the questions that will be explored during this panel discussion.
Panelists will include; Miranda Stearn, Head of Learning, Fitzwilliam Museum,Cambridge, UK, Manal Ataya, Director General, Sharjah Museums Department,Dea Birkett, Creative Director of Kids in Museums,UK and Shaikha Mohamed Al Muhairi, Culture Research Centre Manager, Education and Professional Department TCA Abu Dhabi. 
The networking reception will begin at 6pm and the panel discussion will start promptly at 6:30pm. For detailed directions to Warehouse 421 please visit www.warehouse421.ae/en/visit.
