New Directions, New Relationships: The Smithsonian's Twenty-first Century Learning in Natural History Settings Conference and the Natural History Museum, London

April 5, 2013 | Professional Development, Conferences, and Networks
The Twenty-first Century Learning in Natural History Settings Conference at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. (2012) has been more influential than similar conferences, resulting in new work streams and international collaborations for the Learning Research and Evaluation team at the Natural History Museum, London ( NHM). The conference offered a rare opportunity to discuss issues relevant to our unique workplace and to be surrounded by an instant peer group. Although the event itself brought personal and professional satisfaction, it is the impact of the conference on our institution that has been most fulfilling. The conference has enabled us to think bigger-to think about the sector as a whole and the role the NHM can play as a large national museum.
