POSTED ON 27/02/2018 IN Bristol Museums Catching Up China Glasgow Museums India Indonesia ITP Malaysia Manchester Art Gallery Manchester Museum Myanmar Nottingham University Museum Pakistan Programme 2017 The Collection: Lincoln Tyne & Wear

This week, we are happy to be sharing with you the reports written by the ITP fellows who attended the 2017 Summer Programme.

25 fellows from 18 countries attended the ITP summer programme in 2017, including the addition to the network of fellows from six new countries (Guatemala, Indonesia, Lesotho, Myanmar (Burma), New Zealand and Zimbabwe).

Now back at their home institutions, they have each sat down to reflect on the experience and how it will affect their professional practice and career goals moving forward.

Every ITP fellow is on an exciting and unique path, and we hope you take the time to read these reports shared with us by the latest cohort joining our the global network.

To start us off, here are the reports from fellows who were based in the Asia Department while at the British Museum. Click on the fellow’s name to read their report.
