How can museums actively engage with their community and
work towards making real change? As integrated community institutions, museums
are uniquely positioned to help create vibrant and sustainable communities
through a focus on programs that affect real social and environmental change. What
are the first steps in planning, maintaining, and strengthening these programs
and relationships?
Join us Wednesday,
May 13, 2015, as we investigate these questions through a one day workshop
at Fort Calgary. As the recipient of the 2014 Robert
R. Janes Award for Social Responsibility, Fort Calgary provides a
successful model for engaging, maintaining, and increasing corporate
sponsorship, and methods for connecting with and serving at risk communities.
