This October, the Alberta Museums Association’s (AMA) long-time collaborator Tamarack: An Institute for Community Engagement held their week-long learning event, Communities Collaborating Institute: Accelerating Impact, in Edmonton. This event is designed to provide participants with the tools, resources, and relationships to strengthen their capacity to create large-scale, community-wide impact. It also provided the opportunity to bring together thought leaders, government representatives, social service agencies, non-profit leaders, and other issue-related groups to build and maintain partnerships for collaborative impact.
The Alberta Museums Association's Community Engagement Initiative (CEI) works towards incorporating community engagement into the programs & services of the AMA and the general practices of the Alberta museum community. CEI supports museums by demonstrating the importance of community collaborations as a viable path toward sustainability. This blog provides tools & resources to support museums in creating & maintaining meaningful connections with communities.
