Elevenses, 29 May 2025, Sensory Journeys

How can museums create simple sensory engagement that benefits all audiences? Join Leslie Palanker, Learning Co-ordinator at Arbeia, South Shields Roman Fort & South Shields Museum and Art Gallery to find out more. Leslie will discuss the use of participatory Foley Art, sensory storytelling and creative response, as well as how Sensory Journeys led to a collaboration with the National Gallery aimed at engaging with the SEND community.
Insightful, interactive and informal, come along to gain new insights from our guests, meet colleagues from the region, and connect with the MDN team. Everyone who works and volunteers in museums is most welcome, including museum freelancers who want to stay connected.
