<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I just wanted to send around a quick update for the BCMA's new webinar series, beginning April 18:</div><div><br></div><div>If you are planning on attending the webinar, you may be required to download a plug-in to access the Zoom webinar platform. This is a quick and easy process but for some people may require IT department permissions. Please give yourself plenty of time to access the webinar (you can use the link provided in your registration confirmation anytime before the start of the webinar) and make sure you can download the plug-in.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, please note that under normal conditions, registration for webinars closes 24 hours before the webinar. Given the Easter holidays, I have extended registration through to 10am on the 18th (2 hours before the webinar). The link is below.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.800000190734863px"><b>Webinar Description:</b></span><br style="font-size:12.800000190734863px"><br style="font-size:12.800000190734863px"><span style="font-size:12.800000190734863px">Our first webinar on April 18 is all about Youth Programming.

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</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.800000190734863px"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.800000190734863px"><b><a name="m_7940564387964658368_OLE_LINK10" style="color:rgb(34,34,34)"></a>Webinar Details</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.800000190734863px">Time and Date: April 18, noon-1pm</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.800000190734863px">Cost: Free for members, $10 for future members</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.800000190734863px">Registration and more information: <a href="https://bcmawebinar1.eventbrite.ca/" target="_blank">https://bcmawebinar1.<wbr>eventbrite.ca</a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.800000190734863px"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12.800000190734863px">If you have any questions about the webinars, please email me at <a href="mailto:bfast@museumsassn.bc.ca" target="_blank">bfast@museumsassn.bc.ca</a></p></div><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size:12.8px" color="#000000"><b>Ben Fast</b></font><div style="font-size:12.8px"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000">Programs and Communications Coordinator</font></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-size:12.8px"><p style="margin:0in 0in 1pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif">BC Museums Association || 675 Belleville Street || Victoria, BC || V8W 9W2</span></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 1pt;font-family:calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px">Direct: <a href="tel:(250)%20686-2105" value="+12503565694" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">250-686-2105</a></span><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px"> || </span><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px">Office: <a href="tel:(250)%20356-5700" value="+12503565700" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">250-356-5700</a></span><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px"> || <a href="http://www.museumsassn.bc.ca/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">www.museumsassn.bc.ca</a><br></span><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px">Direct Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/benfaster" target="_blank">@benfaster</a> Twitter: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/BCMuseumsAssn" target="_blank">@BCMuseumsAssn</a> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BCMuseumsAssn" target="_blank">BCMuseumsAssn</a></span><span style="color:rgb(237,125,49);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14.66px"><br></span></p></div></div></div></div></div>
