What happens when museums, artists and people from other sectors bring their different ways of thinking into the same room. During the Cross Innovation Learning Lab we will together explore what cross-sector collaboration is, why it matters for innovation and development in the cultural and heritage sector, and how it can be applied in practice.

The workshop is highly interactive. You will experience how different expectations and perspectives can create both friction and opportunity, practise working with disagreement rather than avoiding it, and experiment with skills such as possibility thinking, flexible thinking, connective thinking, listening and speaking up.

The day will be facilitated by Swedish cross-innovation specialists Martin Q Larsson and Geert van Kuijk, who have spent years bringing together people, sectors and ways of thinking that do not usually meet.

It is especially aimed at museum professionals, artists from different disciplines, and curious participants from other sectors: business, education, research, public organisations and civil society.

No previous experience of cross innovation is needed, only curiosity and a willingness to think with people who doesn’t think like you. The workshop will be in English, and is free of charge.
