Knowledge Exchange: Museum Social Stand Ups
Museums Galleries Scotland launched a series of Museum Social Stand Ups in response to the coronavirus lockdown measure. The social stand ups were a friendly opportunity for those working and volunteering in museums to continue to network with each other. They were also used to help reduce feelings of isolation during this period of social distancing.
We recorded the 10 minute speaker slots of some of our previous Stand Ups. The videos and resources shared in the sessions are available below.
