Dear Fellow ESG members,

Having had surgery for a detached retina, I have to read everything twice to be sure I've got it right. On the first pass I read: "CRITICALLY ENDANGERED  NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS: PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT FOR A BETTER WORLD"  . Now that would be a talk worth listening to....

Regards,
Mike.

Dear CETAF working Group leaders,

For your information:

Next week Wednesday, 28 FEBRUARY (11:00-12:00 CEST), the CETAF Collections Group organizes its second monthly session in 2024. This time the topic is:  "CIVICALLY ENGAGED NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUMS: PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT FOR A BETTER WORLD"  presented by Dr. Liz Hide, Director of the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge. Below is a short summary of her presentation:

> _Working in and with natural history collections, we recognise the
> value of our collections in contributing to impactful research around
> climate change and biodiversity loss, and we are increasingly using
> our collections to engage visitors with these themes.    But climate
> change is linked to a much wider set of societal challenges, including
> social inequality, social isolation, discrimination and ill health.
> In this talk I’ll be discussing who engages with our museums and
> collections and who doesn’t,  and I’ll use examples from the
> University of Cambridge Museums to explore how, even on a modest scale
> our natural history collections can enable us to better respond to the
> issues and concerns that communities and society are experiencing. _

Following the presentation, there will of course be time for questions.
As always, your colleagues are welcome to join the session; please forward this mail to anyone who might be interested. This is the ZOOM LINK TO ACCESS THE SESSION [1].
