Building on the findings of Culture24’s recent survey of over 95 different cultural organisations into the impact of hybrid on working practices, our next groundbreaking Let’s Get Real (LGR) action research programme will focus on navigating the challenges of hybrid working to help your organisation become more inclusive and resilient.
The programme is being run in partnership with Birmingham Museums Trust and begins in April 2022. We are looking for a cohort of 32 cultural organisations to come together to discuss the challenges and to collaborate to develop tactics that can exploit the opportunities.
The kind of issues we imagine you could experiment with might be:
- improving communication and planning using collaborative digital tools
- designing hybrid programmes of work that mix physical and digital
- evaluating the impact of hybrid programmes
- better understanding ways of tackling digital exclusion amongst your communities
- improving digital inclusion and accessibility for your team and volunteers
- increasing digital skills, literacies and confidence within your organisation
- changing the rhythm of how you work
- ways hybrid working support the diversification of audiences online
Participants will be guided by Culture24’s experienced leadership team Jane Finnis and Anra Kennedy, working in partnership with Zak Mensah, Birmingham Museums Trust co-CEO and Culture24 trustee. The programme will also call on a range of guest speakers from within and beyond the cultural sector who will contribute their expertise and help us to create a supportive, engaged community of peers with a shared sense of purpose.
Deadline for applications: 7th March 2022
Project Duration: April 2022 to November 2022 (eight months)
