The Future of Digital Learning Starts With Trust

About this episode

Zeina Dghaim discusses the importance of trust and creativity in building digital learning experiences for museums.

Zeina Dghaim, Training and Excellence Manager at the Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi, knows what it takes to build digital learning experiences from the ground up. From advising on a fully digital museum for the Bahamas to shaping visitor experiences at one of the newest cultural institutions in the world, Zeina has a clear message for the sector: trust yourselves. She challenges museums to stop approaching digital from a deficit mindset and start leading with imagination, creativity, and confidence in their own stories. Her unlikely sources of inspiration? The fashion and culinary industries where vision comes first and barriers come second. This conversation is a reminder that museums already know how to create extraordinary experiences. They just need to believe it.
