Transport costs, varying provision of heritage and museum sites, #CostOfLiving crisis and cut school and arts budgets all militate against us at the moment. #SHCG2024

Young #LGBTQIA people love to see museums reflecting that 'we're here, we're seen, we're contributing, we're important' (less catchy thank the other phrase starting that way!) and broadens cis/straight young people's minds on other ways of being. #SHCG2024

Jack's tours and making-sessions at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery and @Mshedbristol build on those museums' strong existing outreach to communities, but also breaks silences on #LGBTQIA via the delftware, Asia and ancient Egypt galleries. #SHCG2024

Protests and local *insert-gender-identity-here*s at M Shed have made powerful personal and local connections, while Diana's mythology proved an 'in' to #asexual history and identity. #ace #LGBTQIA. #PrideMonth #pride #Pride2024 #SHCG2024

Rating mood before and after the tours, nervousness, intimidation and not being used to museums figured before but powerful positive emotions like hope and empowerment after. #SHCG2024

Sense of attachment to local place is growing among young people and that can lead to more engagement with heritage, intersecting with representation and validation in ways similar to engaging young #LGBTQIA audiences. #SHCG2024

Someone on a Bristol tour was so engaged by the museum that they volunteered to lead an outreach session on another topic! #SHCG2024 #lgbtqia #pride #PrideMonth

Collective grief can be a response to war, pandemic, national figures (Princess Diana, the Queen), national disaster. Museum responses to it driven by contributors not curators can explode and provide validation through tangible outputs like concerts or web content. #SHCG2024

Articulating why you want to break down barriers for these communities this will win over others in your organisation. #SHCG2024

Hi @socialhistorycurator we have recently convened a regional meeting to discuss ideas to promote more creative health opportunities for NE children and young people and have sent our ideas to the new NE Combined Authority.
