#volunteering #schools #museum
While i’ve been volunteering at a local museum
its been important to know your audience
- Despite your knowledge of the subject matter – there will always be 1 who supposedly knows it better than you. If you can – give them the floor
- Know where everything is – from the loos to the cafeteria
- Know your little objects as well as your big ones
- There are 7 large objects in the museum i volunteer at and hundreds of others spread in a space which has 6 separate areas
- Children tend to jump headlong into an question – so point them in the right direction
- Geography wins over History every time – so when you’re directing use the zones you have
4. Finally – DONT PANIC
5 Final Finally – ENJOY IT – you might get some credit for your work!
