Having been a participant or evaluator on many Zoom workshops it has been fun to do some delivery too. Last week I delivered a session for Tate at the Routes In Network meeting, presenting the key findings and recommendations from the summary report of my research, What Next? Supporting young people from under-represented backgrounds into creative careers at Tate and across the sector.

In addition, I facilitated a workshop for the Museum Futures trainees at the British Museum covering some of the topics in my Tate research and seeing which were most relevant to them. We also looked at what it’s like to be a freelancer, thinking about both the benefits and challenges.

I am really passionate about expanding the progression routes for under-represented young people into the sector so I was also pleased to recently attend a training session with Arts Emergency with the plan that I mentor a young person for them next year.
