Museums play a vital role in creating a learning society. While museums have proven adept at engaging children in learning, they must be more imaginative in creating opportunities for adults to learn for pleasure and self-development.
As non-formal learning environments, museums are ideally placed to excite and intrigue adults whose experiences of formal learning may have been negative.
Experts from both the museum and adult learning sectors will discuss innovative projects and explore how the sectors can work more closely and productively together to encourage lifelong learning. They will explore key issues in promoting and gathering evidence of learning and measuring impact.
