Case Study – Manchester Museum, developing skills to support child-led play

Posted by Hilary Jennings

18008101188_fdfa4ec01e_oThis case study is about how, through two projects, Manchester Museum aimed to embed playfulness. The first project trained the museum’s visitor team to develop their understanding of play and reflection techniques. In the second project, the museum developed Rules for a Playful Museum, a playful and accessible handbook to capture the learning and experience of their experiments in playfulness.
