[BCMA] CALL FOR PRESENTERS: deadline in 2 weeks!

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Third space is an interesting way to look at semi-private/culturally
tolerant spaces and the cultural landscape is one of the best places to
facilitate an 'agora' like atmosphere. Here at the Surrey Museum we have
been spending time and resources over the past couple of years inviting
diverse youth to participate in heritage and culture activities and
workshops. I'm quite interested in exploring more strategies and
opportunities for youth, and sharing our own best practices, in a workshop
or plenary at this year's BCMA conference. If anyone is interested, plesae
contact me and we write a proposal!

Email me at lsaffery at gmail.com

Thanks,
Lynn
