Museum Outreach Programs to Promote Community Engagement in Local Environmental Issues
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 18:02 authored by Lane, R, Vanclay, FM, Wills, J, Lucas, DIdeas of 'community' and 'community voice' have been mobilised in collaborative programs developed between the National Museum of Australia and the Murray-Darling Basin Commission since 1992. This collaboration is set within a broader context of changing ideas and practice around governance, community and environmental issues. The recent Murray-Darling Outreach Project (MDOP), a series of museum outreach projects with regional communities aiming to increase community engagement in local environmental issues in the Murray-Darling Basin, is specifically examined. Evaluation research on the MDOP found that the approach to program development significantly shaped the types of voices, range of issues presented and the nature of the communicative forums established. The potential impacts on online audiences are discussed along with broader implications for government agencies involved in community partnerships. © 2007 National Council of the Institute of Public Administration Australia.
