Care of Collections

Zoom

Whilst we all breathe a sigh of relief to see the back of 2020, 2021 looks set to be another challenging year. The Care of Collections group want to focus our Annual General Meeting on the positives from COVID 19 including: - lessons learnt - how you have looked after the wellbeing of your objects and people during this difficult time - any quick tips or wins that brought a positive outlook to your working day. The AGM is online March 25, 2021. Along with the meeting, we are offering a mix of 20 min webinar presentations as well as several quick Pecha Kucha style 5-minute presentations (5 slides in 5 minutes pre-recorded in advance) or how-to videos. The aim is to share as many tips and wins as possible.
