Join us in London for a dynamic, practical study day designed to equip you with the tools and insights to embed genuine co-creation, share power meaningfully, and drive community-led change in your museum.

Led by leading researcher and practitioner Stella Toonen, this immersive workshop will explore proven models for democratic decision-making and power-sharing in museums and how open-ended, community-led projects can spark lasting organisational change. Learn from real-world case studies from major institutions in London, Manchester, and New York and build step-by-step strategies to develop tailored co-creation approaches for your own projects. This is your opportunity to discover practical tools to create deeper, sustainable community partnerships, learn from global best practice, and build actionable strategies for your own institution.
