Event Details

September's talk:  Cultivating Community Engagement and Inclusive Museum Programming
Please note that the original programming "Visionary Leadership and Strategic Planning in Museums" was changed to "Cultivating Community Engagement and Inclusive Museum Programming" as of August 8, 2024.

September’s Tuesday Talk will focus on cultivating community engagement and inclusive museum programming through the lens of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). We’ll cover the basics of SEL—including misconceptions about the term—and highlight examples from museums that are leading the way in SEL integration nationwide. Led by SEL researcher, doctoral candidate, and longtime VAM member Jacqueline Langholtz, we’ll hear from a variety of voices with perspectives on this topic – including yours, we hope! Come to learn and to share. All are welcome! 


We know museum people, so we know you're not happy with being disconnected from your sites, so we're pulling together some online chats to stay connected over the coming weeks. 

Join us every month for this virtual event designed for museum professionals seeking to expand their expertise and explore cutting-edge practices in the field. Each month, we delve into a different theme, covering everything from curatorial best practices to the latest conservation techniques and even exploring 'next practices' to spark forward-thinking discussions about the future of museums. This interactive series provides valuable insights and nurtures a vibrant learning community, offering ample opportunities for networking, collaboration, and open discussion. Whether you're a curator, educator, or conservator, we invite you to be part of the conversation shaping the future of museums at "Tuesday Talks."

Join us every Tuesday!
