Listen "The Radical Act"
Episode Synopsis
MoLI’s award-winning learning programme reaches thousands of young people and adults every year, through onsite tours and workshops, online workshops to schools across the island, volunteer and work experience programmes, and through targeted work with communities. In this conversation, we take a look under the hood of the museum’s learning department to find out more about the intention and realities of making all of this happen. Jennie Ryan, Head of Learning and Community at MoLI, and Lily Cahill, the museum’s Learning Manager, join MoLI’s Benedict Schlepper-Connolly to discuss how learning and the museum’s mission are interconnected, bringing a lightness of touch to our learning programmes, the importance of people-centred learning, and how learning itself can be seen as a radical act.MoLI’s learning programme is delivered with the support of many sponsors and partners, including Maples Group, AerCap, the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon, Dublin City Council, UNESCO City of Literature, ALL Funding and UCD All.
