Civic Actors: Communities of Practice to Support Civic Engagement75-minute session
Location: Hilton Albany, Governor D Day/Time: Monday, April 8 // 9:15 - 10:30 AM About: Museums can and should be active in civic learning and engagement, as core parts of their mission and mandate. As trusted “third spaces” in communities, museums have a unique opportunity and obligation to build civic mindsets, knowledge and skills among community members, to present multiple viewpoints on difficult topics, and to cultivate museum spaces as places for honest discussions. Partnering with organizations already doing civic work and participating in capacity-building initiatives like Made By Us and Educating for American Democracy can position museums to be relevant and community-oriented in ways that are mission-aligned. Presenters: Bruce Whitmarsh, Director, Chemung County Historical Society
Sarah Jencks, Principal Consultant, Every Museum a Civic Museum
Lynda Kennedy, VP Education & Evaluation, Intrepid Museum
Jessica Moquin, Executive Director, Chenango County Historical Society and Museum
