[BCMA] Introducing: BCMA Webinars!

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

 Hello,

The BC Museums Association is pleased to introduce a new series of
professional development webinars, presented in partnership with the Royal
BC Museum!

On the third Tuesday of every month, join your museum colleagues from
around the province for a lunch-hour webinar.  These engaging professional
development opportunities will cover a different topic each month, from
education to conservation, marketing to exhibit fabrication, and everything
else in between.  Museum professionals from within our membership will
present each webinar, with special guests along the way.

Our first webinar on April 18 is all about Youth Programming.   Join Chris
O’Connor, Learning Program Developer at the Royal BC Museum, and Susan
Rome, the School Program Coordinator at the Vancouver Art Gallery, for
“Youth Programming and What We Learn When We Listen.”


*Webinar Description*

How can we better listen to the ideas and perspectives of youth in regard
to our exhibitions and collections?  And how can we facilitate youth making
connections between the gallery/museum and the community in meaningful
ways?  Using case studies from the Vancouver Art Gallery (Think Tank for
Youth) and the Royal BC Museum (The Partner School Project), this webinar
will suggest ways to proactively invite teens into cultural spaces and have
them learn through doing. #projectbasedlearning



*Webinar Details*

Time and Date: April 18, noon-1pm

Cost: Free for members, $10 for not-yet-members

Registration and more information: https://bcmawebinar1.eventbrite.ca

Registration closes April 17 at noon



We hope you’ll join us for this exciting new professional development
series (and invite your colleagues to join as well)!  If you have any
questions about the webinars, please email me at bfast at museumsassn.bc.ca
