Hilary Jennings is a freelance consultant working across the arts and cultural and educational and skills sectors with a recent focus on exploring cultural and community approaches to global economic and environmental challenges and in particular a focus on well-being and the role of creativity.
She was co-author of Sustainable Ability commissioned by Mission, Models, Money, a Paul Hamlyn Funded Research into the response of the arts and cultural sector to climate change and resource scarcity - and co-developer of The Case for Optimism, a workshop programme exploring the role of arts and creativity in fostering “cultures of sustainability” - supported by Clore and Esmee Fairbairn Foundations.
She is also an Associate on the Happy Museum Project, a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Breakthrough Project which looks at how the UK museum sector can respond to the challenges presented by the need for creating a more sustainable future. Its proposition is that museums are well placed to play an active part, but that grasping the opportunity will require re-imagining some key aspects of their role, both in terms of the kinds of experience they provide to their visitors and the way they relate to their collections, to their communities and to the pressing issues of the day.
