NDF WORKSHOPS

ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS

In 2024, NDF is delivering workshops to organisations across New Zealand. Specially commissioned in response to research conducted by NDF to understand digital capability gaps across the sector, these workshops aim to empower GLAMIR professionals with targeted training to develop vital skills.

As well as attending the workshop, participants will be invited to join NDF’s online learning hub. This easy-to-use hub allows participants to access additional resources, refer back to the workshop’s PowerPoint slides and virtually meet and discuss their learning with other workshop attendees from across the country.

These workshops are part of NDF's Digital Capability Program, an initiative made possible with funding from the Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture and Heritage Regeneration Fund and the support of NDF’s Kauri Members Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture and Heritage, Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum, Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand, and Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand.
