Going Places Community Engagement Toolkit
This practical guidance will help you to consider, develop and deliver opportunities for community collaboration.
This toolkit, developed in collaboration with museums and galleries across the UK, offers practical guidance for developing and delivering community engagement activities.
Covering consultation, collaboration and co-curation, the guidance is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners, with resources that support a wide range of engagement activities.
The toolkit includes short films, reflection opportunities and easily actionable steps, and aims to help museums build stronger, more inclusive relationships with their communities.
The toolkit and videos are available in English and in Welsh (Cymraeg).

The toolkit was developed by Dr Laura Crossley, Dr Sarah Plumb and Marek Romaniszyn, in collaboration with Going Places participants, and supported by The National Heritage Lottery Fund and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
Led by Art Fund, Going places is a UK-wide programme to engage and involve audiences in museum collections through collaborative touring exhibitions and public programmes.

Exhibition Makers’ Toolkit
In the context of exhibitions for touring, questions of cultural diversity can be considered both by the venue receiving an exhibition and by the organisation producing the exhibition to tour.
Exhibition Makers’ Toolkit
In times of reduced funding and austerity for the heritage sector, collaboration and partnership working is a means of helping resources go further, sharing time and expertise, and opening up eligibility for funding that supports partnership.
Exhibition Makers’ Toolkit
Audience development should in one sense be at the heart of all public-facing arts and cultural organisations; without sustained audiences or visitors, it is unlikely venues will be as ?valued? or attract the profile, political support or funding resources necessary to sustain themselves in turn.
