Breathing Space – call out for freelancers!

Museum and Heritage Highland are delighted to launch the call-out for our third Breathing Space residency – a 2-day professional development opportunity for freelance heritage professionals working within the Highlands and Islands, Moray and/or Argyll and Bute.

‘Breathing Space’ offers residencies for heritage practitioners to explore shared challenges and opportunities for developing their careers in a safe, non-judgemental environment with their peers. Supported by a facilitator, they employ an Action Learning Set model – working in small groups to solve problems, learn from each other, and take action to improve their work. Relationship building between peers is critical, and the residency supports the development of a resource bank and long-term network for tackling heritage-related challenges and opportunities. It incorporates skills sharing sessions and includes a focus on mental health through nutritious food and light exercise.

Breathing Space is part of our ‘Future-proofing the Highland museum workforce’ project, funded by Museums Galleries Scotland and The Space. More information on the residency and how to apply can be found in the document below.
