Building a Learning Legacy Cymru

A collaboration between GEM, GEM Cymru, Swansea Museum and CyMAL, the aim of this project is to provide practical support to museums and galleries throughout Wales by developing high quality learning and access programmes, in particular for smaller, less well resourced organisations and those without dedicated learning and access staff. Six successful training events have been held.
