Returning home from #GEMConference2025 and missed my connection due to my first train being delayed, but I can't claim any compensation because I've already got a full refund because the outward journey was delayed.
The British railway system. Second to none.
And the @gem.org.uk conference 2025 @leedsmuseums.bsky.social is a wrap! This was Eve from Leeds Industrial Museum talking about our work with @nestauk.bsky.social @artfund.bsky.social Mini Wonders Early Years programme earlier today.

I've had lots of little conversations about #MathsInMuseums over the last 3 days at #GEMConference2025.
Next up is #MathsConf39 in October, where I'll be delivering a workshop on enriching maths lessons with history content.

The conference theme is ‘Sustaining our practice, sustaining our world’.
Final keynote speaker, Vanessa Nakate is asking, “I wondered, whose practice? And whose world? Because in the global south, many people’s worlds are already crumbling.”

I suggested my 12yo go round the galleries while I did a workshop. Just found him again and he’s given me a tour of his 10 favourite animals. #GEMConference2025 #kidsinmuseums
Now @naturalistdara.bsky.social , quoting both Úrsula K Le Guin, and Billy Bragg. All the best people… #GEMconference2025
I was part of a presentation on museums and home education. Key takeaway: please don’t just give us your schools workshops.

Hashtag is #GEMconference2025, although hardly anyone seems to be skeeting. (Do we say skeeting?)
Thank you to our first keynote of the day, Professor Olivette Otele, for a beautiful talk exploring museums as a place of collective remembrance through personal stories and insights and the importance of institutional accountability in addressing ‘the wrongs of the past.'

A certificate on white A4 paper with a red border. The certificate reads GEM CONFERENCE 2025 QUIZ WINNERS! Congratulations! Rachel Tranter Director, September 2025
A small card attached to a red bag (with white polka dots). The card reads 'GEM quiz winners!'.
An A5 notebook with a rough brown card cover and, in red, 'GEM, We connect and learn together.'
Very proud to be on the winning team in the #GEMConference2025 pub quiz with Matt, Louise, Louise, and Sarah!
If you're at #GEMConference2025 representing a museum/gallery/etc in Leeds I'd love to talk to you about a project I've got funding for...
(If you're not at the conference and you fit the rest of the description I'd love to talk to you too!)

Thank you to @bridgetmck.bsky.social who delivered an inspiring talk, full of resources and frameworks to give ‘people courage to be planetary citizens, or inhabitants of a biosphere in trouble. Not as consumers for culture…’ 💫

We’re excited to be exhibiting this year across 3 days of #GEMConference2025. Come and say hi 👋
One keynote in at #GEMConference2025 & we've already seen a theme that also echoed throughout #TMiP25: we (whether maths communicators or museum educators) are not neutral.
I'm not speaking in person at #GEMConference2025, but I do have a prerecorded talk as part of Wednesday's online programme so please do check that out, especially if you're based in Leeds!

It's #GEMConference2025 eve! The team are busy prepping for and we are so excited to welcome delegates tomorrow! Who is joining us?
It's travel-to- #GEMConference2025 day!
I'm interested to see which of the social platforms gets the most action on that hashtag.
(Anyone else on BSky who cares: pinning the "Museum Ed" feed would be good as it collects posts with that tag [& a handful of other related phrases] into one place).
It's nearly conference time!
This time it's #GEMConference2025 and I'll be interested to see if there's anyone other than me posting with that hashtag in the fediverse.
Shortly, I shall ablute, and then head off to Leeds. I've never been there before.
UK museum education chat is thin on the ground here. I assumed everyone was still on 𝕏 so I logged in to check and... It appears to be dead over there too. Nobody's on Mastodon; LinkedIn has a *little* & I even checked thr***s so...
Where is everyone?
Asking for a conference.
