NMNI/ACSONI/NIMC and Enniskillen Castle Museums present Global Voices Local Choices – African & Caribbean Workshop.
It was an evening of sharing, caring and learning at Enniskillen Castle on the evening of 22 March 2023 when residents of Enniskillen from a diverse range of ethnic communities that make up Northern Irelands cultural mosaic came together for a Global Voices Local Choices Workshop. The workshop was facilitated by NMNI’s Community Engagement Officer, Agrippa Njanina and his colleagues from Enniskillen Castle Museum.
The workshop was presented by Esther Ogunleye, a member of ACSONI’s Education Working Group.
National Museums NI, ACSONI and Northern Ireland Museums Council have partnered to deliver a program that addresses the decolonisation of the collections of the National Museums and retelling of one-sided historical stories relating to world cultures.
The series of workshops, community engagements and institutional changes at the National Museums Northern Ireland are contributing significantly to the often overused mantra of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. ACSONI is encouraged and excited to be involved in the Global Voices Local Choices project and will continue to bring you updates of our progress.
