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 <u>with</u> 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.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><br></p><p style="margin:0in 0in 1pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt">Register today!</p><p style="margin:0in 0in 1pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt"><a href="http://museumsassn.bc.ca/brain/learning-opportunities/regional-workshops/" target="_blank">http://museumsassn.bc.ca/brain/learning-opportunities/regional-workshops/</a>  </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Workshop fee:  </span><b>$40 for BCMA members; $90 for non-members</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">If you’re not a member yet, consider becoming one today! Individual
