    Inclusive presentation tips

    The Inclusive Presentation Tips guide has been produced by the Inclusive Storytelling Working Group to promote inclusive working practices. When presenting to an audience, it is likely that the people in the audience will have a range of access needs and come from a variety of communities. The tips outlined in this document will help you to ensure that your presentation is accessible and inclusive.

    It is also worth considering how you share information before, during and after your presentation, for instance:
    • Consider providing visual materials in advance or in alternative formats (e.g. print outs, large print)
    • If you plan to share the digital version of your slides with colleagues following your presentation, ensure that you use alt text for images (How to write effective alt text – Microsoft Support)

    You may also find the following resources helpful:
    • PowerPoint presentations accessibility rules – Scope for business
    • Advice for making events and presentations accessible – UK Government

    If you have any comments or questions, please speak to the Inclusive Storytelling Working Group co-chairs (Izzy Taylor and Nadia Awal).

  • Industrial Quarter Story Notes

    Industrial Quarter Story Notes

    As we approach the opening of the Industrial Quarter, we wanted to take this opportunity to share the brand-new story notes that have been created for each building, by our fantastic Interpretation and Research team.

    These narrative details serve as an excellent guide to grasp the history of these buildings, set to open soon. Hence, we kindly urge you to dedicate some time to reading them thoroughly.

     

     

  • Inclusive Story Training (Bronze)

    Inclusive Story Training (Bronze)

    You may be aware that the Museum has been hosting some quite detailed sessions with the Historic Characters and other front-line colleagues, around the topics below (for the opening of the new town). On the premise that everyone that works or volunteers at the Museum represents the Museum, it is important that all colleagues have a working knowledge of the below and can share this with colleagues, visitors and wider guests if needs be.

    We have opted for one combined session given the impact on the capacity of the Interpretation & Research team, who will be leading these and also to ensure that we can all support each other with a common level of understanding:

    Providing historical context on the inclusive stories we will be sharing as part of Forging Ahead

    Creating a wider understanding on the strategy and approach taken towards inclusive storytelling at the Museum

    Discussing challenges that have come and will come with moving into telling stories in living memory

    Discussing challenges related to diversifying our storytelling, and share our methods to address those challenges

    You are therefore invited to attend a training session on one of the following dates:

    Monday 4 September 5-6pm

    Wednesday 27 September 8.30-9.30am

    Friday 29 September 5-6pm

    All sessions will take place in the Museum Conference & Learning Centre, in Classroom 1. Many of you will already be scheduled by your line managers to attend one of these sessions. If you have not yet been scheduled, please contact your line manager. All contracted colleagues are mandated to attend these sessions. We would also strongly urge colleagues from both our volunteer and casual community to all attend.

    You only need to attend one of the briefing sessions.

    Refreshments will be provided in Museum Conference & Learning Centre, in Classroom 1.

    Can you please sign up using the following link: Colleague Bronze Training. If you have any trouble signing up for the sessions because you do not have a BCLM email address, please speak to your line manager who will be able to add your name for you. Could you please confirm your attendance by 2pm, Friday 1 September 2023.

    We hope the session will be informative, informal and interactive to ensure all colleagues have confidence and comfort in the information being shared.

    Kind regards
