Creation of anti-ableism workshops for NLHF Delivering Change Project

As part of its Delivering Change project, MGS is currently seeking to appoint a contractor to develop an Anti-Ableism Workshop Series tailored to the museum sector. The workshops will form part of the Museum Transformers and Museum Activists programmes which run from approximately April 2024 – August 2026.

MGS particularly welcomes submissions from individuals and organisations with:

• A sophisticated understanding of the nature of ableism in the culture and heritage sector, with specific reference to its institutional, structural and systemic ableism expressions;
• Experience of working with external partners and/or organisations to deliver transformational change within the field of anti-ableism, anti-oppression and/or equity, diversity and inclusion;
• Strong interpersonal skills, alongside knowledge and experience in supporting others to make change;
• A qualification in coaching, facilitation and/or action learning;
• A solid grounding in intersectionality and anti-oppressive principles; and
• An understanding of equalities legislation and the specific Scottish policy and legislative context.

Please note that although the project itself is specific to Scotland, this tender opportunity is open to individuals and organisations based outside of Scotland.
