In January 2017 IWM launched a new Public Engagement and Learning programme which is courageous, authoritative, relevant, and empathetic.
This new way of programming embraces other disciplines such as poetry, performance and visual art and uses creative learning techniques to offer different perspectives on our subject matter. Our work includes programming for schools, families, young people and adults.
Public Engagement and Learning’s award-winning approach is to create innovative programmes which often involve creative partners. This programme aims to share the human impact of conflict and includes Yemen: Say Hello to Connect an installation which takes conversations about the world’s worst crisis to UK public spaces; Rebel Sounds Live which included the UK’s first Syrian Death Metal performance; and We Were There, which gives schools and families the chance to meet people with direct experience of conflict from refugees to victims of terror and aid workers. Our current schools programme includes the Ofsted commended Holocaust Learning Programme at IWM London and IWM North.
The role will be based at IWM North or IWM London with the expectation that occasional travel to other IWM sites will be required.
Candidates should have a good understanding of both formal and informal public engagement and learning practices, with demonstrable experience of leading on projects with one or more of the following audiences: schools, families, young people, adults, community groups, digital, and events.
