Do you want to know more about how children learn and play at different ages to inform how you create family activities in your museum?

This training webinar will be led by cultural heritage learning consultant Anna Salaman. She has thirty years’ experience immersed in the arts, heritage and cultural sectors, specialising in learning and participation, creativity and play. Anna has worked with organisations around the world including ArtScience Museum (Singapore), Discover Children’s Story Centre, the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the V&A.

The session will help delegates to:

• learn about the developmental stages of children, ages 0-12,
• gain an understanding of different facilitation styles to build confidence when interacting with children of different age groups,
• explore the five types of play and facilitating play,
• make plans to put the training into practice in their organisation.

This training will be delivered virtually on Zoom over one half-day session (two hours and 30 minutes with a short break).

The session will be delivered in English with bilingual slides, with an option to provide a Welsh language interpreter.
