Hello,<br><br>The BC Museums Association is pleased to introduce a new series of professional development webinars, presented in partnership with the Royal BC Museum!<br><br>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.<br><br>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.”<br>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Webinar Description</b><span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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<span></span></p>
