Is your organisation leading the way in family arts engagement? Could it be?
| Whether you’re leading your organisation, programming outdoor events or wanting to drive forward your marketing initiatives – there’s always more ways to grow your knowledge. We’re delighted to share a handful of upcoming learning opportunities in this Newsletter, from our Leadership Symposium to other sector conferences and more. |
Join Leaders from across the UK |
| Don’t miss out on your space at the National Family Arts Leadership symposium – explore how you can develop your social practice and better understand families in your community by booking your ticket here.
This year’s Family Arts Leadership Symposium, on 22 June, takes a closer look at collaboration, connection and communities with keynotes, panel discussions, workshops and opportunities to network. Have your say and discover insights, frameworks and approaches to connecting with more families in more meaningful ways. |
| Last time, we asked our delegates how the event had been helpful for them. Here are just a few of the responses to what they found useful… |
| ‘Open discussion. Honest, frank conversation about leadership today.Â
Very thought provoking speakers.’ |
| ‘The event was thoroughly insightful and fully supported my needs and thoughts towards family engagement, leadership models and implementing inclusivity into venues.’ |
| ‘Network, open discussion, chance to share challenges with each other’ |
| We’re looking forward to bringing leaders from across the UK together again to help us shape the future of family arts. Will that include a representative from your organisation?
Tickets are limited, so book your space now to make sure you’re joining us for this year’s event. |

Since 2004, the annual award has celebrated the heritage sites that are most welcoming, accessible and fun for all ages. The Family Friendly Museum Award is still the only museum award in the UK to be judged by families, meaning it’s a unique and meaningful endorsement directly from visitors. |
