The document summarizes two media projects undertaken by the Museum of London to promote social inclusion: 1) "My Brixton" trained unemployed and local youth to interview people involved in the Brixton Riots. Interviews were featured on the museum's website and will be used in new galleries. 2) "Podcasts from the Past" had unemployed and formerly homeless men research, write and record audio descriptions of bronze spearheads. The podcasts were featured on the museum's website. Both projects used social media and engaged participants in research, media production and skills training. Challenges included keeping staff skills current with technology, but benefits included exciting participants and aiding evaluation of social outcomes.
