*Climate Change – Implications for your museum practice*

Tuesday, November 19, 2019

12:00noon – 1:00pm PDT

Join BCMA and the Coalition of Museums for Climate Justice as we share
examples of how fellow museum workers from BC museums are addressing
climate change in their museums. Peter Ord (Coalition of Museums for
Climate Justice member) will moderate the discussion. Learn about how
museums large and small are helping to build public awareness, mitigation
and resilience in the face of climate change, and the challenges and
successes they have experienced. Come away from the webinar inspired with
practical ideas for addressing this critical issue in your institution.

Register today.

*Setting the Stage for Learning: How to create visitor-focused programs and
exhibits at your museum*

*Date:* Friday, November 8, 2019

*Times*:  10:00am – 3:00pm

*Location:*  Okanagan Heritage Museum – 470 Queensway Ave, Kelowna, BC  V1Y
6S7

Creating innovative, responsive programs and exhibits for visitors is key
to building new audiences and converting occasional visitors into returning
visitors and members. The workshop is facilitated by Kim Gough, Learning
Program Developer at the Royal BC Museum. You will work in small teams to
work through steps of the Design Thinking process to build skills in
creating new programs and exhibitions *with* visitors, not just for
them. This process is scalable for different types and sizes of
institutions. Design Thinking uses elements like empathy, ideation and
experimentation to arrive at innovative solutions that suit visitors’ needs
and expectations.
