Brilliant to do this session with my volunteer Sharon last week. Everyone came with such positive reasons for taking part and put up with our 1st digital delivery. People do and are going to need more understanding and support due to #COVID19. Apt in #LonelinessAwarenessWeek
THANK YOU to volunteers & staff @SalisburyMuseum and @WiltshireMuseum who joined us see the world through the eyes of others, in our 1st digital #DementiaFriends session. Great to stay connected though something we all care about!

I had a great chat with Rebecca from @PooleMuseum and here is some of it. Plus some musings inspired by my @maudsleylearn course on #COVID19 psychological impacts. Don't know about you, but I need more opportunities to talk, like this, about HOW we work.
In her latest vlog, @DoddGregson chats to Rebecca Rossiter of @PooleMuseum about the impacts of the lockdown on our well-being, both in the workplace and communities. @SalisburyMuseum @DorsetMuseum @WiltshireMuseum @ace_national #TuesdayThoughts

A5: by employing more BAME and people from a wider range of socio-economic backgrounds as a starting point. To do so we need to understand the biases in our ideas of success and come to value difference as much as reassuring replication. #MuseumHour #Habitus
Q5: Globally the climate emergency will disproportionately affect disadvantaged groups, some indigenous populations, BAME communities & Least Developed Countries. How can museums ensure these perspectives are represented in their collections & programmes? #MuseumHour

Absolutely on A5! There is a connection to be made between areas of the world most effected and cultural imperialism, surely. Museums may be uniquely placed to address this issue and their own histories in one fell swoop. With care and listening! #MuseumHour
Q5 Take a systemic view. Expansionist, extractivist colonialist systems create inequality and disadvantage both historically and in the present.
Explore regenerative systems like those explored in Doughnut Economics by @KateRaworth and the @WEAll_Alliance #MuseumHour

A #TrilithonChallenge attempt while I have the @WiltshireMuseum #Reminiscence boxes at home for video making purposes. #MuseumFromHome wiltshiremuseum.org.uk/remin…
Lovely to see what @poundarts has to offer during #lockdown. Great for us in #Wiltshire to have access to #CultureinQuarantine
The @poundarts #BlueSkyandBeyond Festival starts next week. What events are you going to attend from the comfort of your living room? ow.ly/tjAq50A0axH
Love this one #TrilithonChallenge. I just don't have any bronze casting lying around at home.
Just waiting for the #DigitalCultureNetwork's online safety webinar after a long morning thinking about developing new digital community work. #goodtiming

Yep video of me. Take the leap. Check out the insta exhibition @pickandmixtsm and #connect #notice #learn #5waystowellbeing. I did. No retakes. What ever comes to you, is the right thing to say. It brought up lovely memories.
Want to take part in the @pickandmixtsm exhibition by submitting an object but not quite sure how to go about it? Watch our Community Curator's example video about her own meaningful Salisbury object.

So lovely to see the participants continuing to meet independently after the project too. Looking forward to more reasons to work in the same way and with @3littlepirates and @frither15

I actually know what my kid is supposed to be learning. Why had I not taken the time to find that out before? #onegoodthing
