NEMO Webinar | Henry McGhie | Using the Sustainable Development Goals in Museums
Channel: NEMO - Network of European Museum Organisations
Date: 2019-12-04

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an invitation to all sectors to collaborate to set the world on a path to a sustainable future by 2030. They are also a powerful tool for museums to articulate their value to society, and to make a positive difference, on their own and with partners. The SDGs need museums, but museums also need the SDGs.

This webinar explores the background of the SDGs and what they aim to achieve; why all museums should connect with them; the benefits of doing so; and the main ways they can incorporate the SDGs into their planning, activity and reporting, across all areas of their activity. The webinar draws on a recent guide that Henry McGhie has put together for museums on the SDGs. The SDGs apply to all sectors and all countries, so this webinar should be of relevance to museums workers anywhere, and in museums of any kind.

Henry McGhie 
Henry has set up Curating Tomorrow to help museums and their partners enhance their contributions to creating a sustainable future. He has recently written a guide for museums on how to get started with the SDGs. Henry has had a lifelong passion for nature, and worked in museums for nearly two decades, with an interest in using museums ‘to the max’.
