[BCMA] LMME Conference and UBC Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education MOOC

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello,

With all the busyness of Conference preparation last week, the following
items did not make it into our bi-monthly Hoot newsletter (members only) or
into our listserv communications.  My apologies, but there is still plenty
of time to sign up!  See below for information about the Lower Mainland
Museum Educators' conference call for proposals (deadline October 15) and
the UBC Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education MOOC (starts October
17)!

*1. LMME Conference*

The Lower Mainland Museum Educators (LMME), with support from the HR
MacMillan Space Centre, Museum of Vancouver, and the Vancouver Maritime
Museum, are pleased to present our second annual conference on Monday
January 29th 2018. This one day conference, focused on Big Ideas, aims to
bring together staff and volunteers from museums, art galleries, science
centres, and related organizations to examine lessons learned, best
practices, explore problems, and network. The conference will include a
keynote speaker, numerous breakout sessions, catered lunch, and an evening
social.

Our call for proposals is now live and will close on October 15th. For more
information please check out our website at: www.lmmuseumeducators.com

*2. UBC Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education MOOC*

The Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education course from UBC is being
offered once again beginning October 17th, 2017.  There is still plenty of
time to register for the course
<https://www.edx.org/course/reconciliation-through-indigenous-ubcx-indedu200x-2>,
which has been updated and revised in light of reconciliation events,
commitments, and movements taking place in Canada, Australia, and the US.

This new course version includes recently developed materials, such as
reports, curriculum innovations, and exemplars, as well as a range of
personal and collective expressions. In addition, it has been updated to
bring attention to how all of us can strengthen our commitments to
reconciliation through education and action in places where we live, learn,
and work.
This is a great way for museums to advance their knowledge and
understanding of practices that can help work towards reconciliation. It's
free and online so very accessible!  The course runs from *October
17-November 28* and is delivered through the edX MOOC (Massive Open Online
Course) platform.
