CyMAL and GEM Project Year Two
Building a Learning Legacy
Cymru
This project, now in its second year, is a collaboration between GEM, GEM Cymru and CyMAL. It will build on and benefit from the work carried out during the first year of the project.
The aim of the 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.
The intended outcome is to achieve a lasting legacy of material and intellectual resources to support ongoing, confident and continually improving access and learning provision in Welsh museums. This legacy will be of ongoing value and use to staff and volunteers implementing CyMAL and GEM access and learning initiatives
This will be achieved by:
-
Delivering training on the ‘core syllabus’ for entry level learning and access staff, those who are new to the museum world or new to the delivery of learning activities
-
Producing resource materials linked to the training to be available on GEM’s web site and linked to that of CyMAL
-
Developing a support network for museum staff involved in access and learning
-
Providing practical problem solving help by experienced practitioners
