Workshops to help tackle new challenges to the cultural sector

MLA launch free 'Best Practice' Workshops to help you improve your culture services

The new year is a time to kick-start initiatives, face new challenges and plan the year ahead.  2010 is set to test professionals across the sector and to help you, the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) is launching a series of five, free ‘Best Practice’ workshops throughout February and March 2010.  These interactive workshops will look at doing more with less by exploring new models of working, finances, collaborations and communities; to try to preserve and improve the best of what you do in a cold financial climate.  The workshops are designed to inspire you with examples of how you can make the most of your budgets, teams and collections to develop innovative, integrated and sustainable services for all.

Run by Culture:Unlimited on behalf of the MLA, the workshops are aimed at all Heads of Services and Programme Managers from museums, archives and libraries, with speakers from across the sectors.  Sessions will focus on how to get the most out of your team through examples, discussions and interactive workshops; to equip you with the tools and inspiration you need to deliver an outstanding tailored service to your communities.

Places are limited - so please book early to avoid disappointment!
