This workshop can be taken individually for professional development, or applied to the UBC Certificate in Cultural Planning - an international professional learning program delivered 100% online.

Online Workshop: Activating the Soft Power of Cultural Institutions<https://cstudies.ubc.ca/courses/online-workshop-activating-soft-power-cultural-institutions/uc034>
Three scheduled online sessions. Wed Nov 30, Dec 7 & 14 from 9am-11am Pacific Time

Typically, an institution's community engagement happens at the level of public programs or marketing. In this workshop, explore the ways in which cultural institutions can become more responsive, relevant and trust-worthy to play a more significant role in the lives of communities. Students explore the concept of soft power and its contemporary application to museums; how to evaluate the work of cultural institutions; and, the ways that cultural institutions, museums and civil society can better collaborate on an institutional and individual basis. Get concrete tips on how to improve your own practice, consider new work processes, and new organizational structures.

INSTRUCTOR: Ngaire Blankenberg is European Director and Principal Consultant at Lord Cultural Resources, the world's largest museum and cultural professional practice, where she advises museums, the private sector and governments on ways to develop their cultural assets for public benefit. She is co-author, with Gail Lord, of Cities, Museums and Soft Power (2015), which urges museums to play a more vital role in creating equitable, inclusive and empowering cities. Her latest book, Planning the Digital Museum, will be released in early 2017.
