M&G NSW is pleased to offer a number of bursaries for the 2010 Working Spaces for Museum Volunteers Conference, hosted by Museums Australia – Lachlan Chapter. Funded through M&G NSW’s VIM Grant Program, these bursaries will contribute to registration, meals, accommodation and travel costs for the 3 day conference, to be held from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 October 2010.

 

The Conference aims to provide volunteers with “hands-on” practical experience in museum practice. For more information on the conference and venue, or to download a registration form, visit the Working Spaces 4 for Museum Volunteer Conference website.

 

Applications for the Working Spaces 4 for Museum Volunteers bursaries close on Friday 11 June 2010. Please note that due to high demand, we can only offer one bursary per organisation.
