Volunteer Outreach AssistantSt Cecilia's Music Hall
Edinburgh, United KingdomPart Time
I help to organise, coordinate, and carry out the monthly family outreach activities that aim to engage young children in arts and culture by involving them with the work and artefacts of the museum.
Since the beginning of lockdown I have been working on creating videos and workbooks for children to follow and fill in at home, teaching them about artefacts in the university collection and the importance of them. My videos focus on researching items relating to folklore within the Carmichael-Watson collection. Through these videos and accompanying workbooks, I help them towards receiving a Discover Arts Award.
