Ethnocultural Community Engagement and Equity: Building Meaningful Relationships

Date: TBD

Where: online (zoom)

Cost: Free

Facilitators: Rhonda Rosenberg, Executive Director and Yordanos Tesfamariam, Education Coordinator of Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan

This interactive Zoom session for museum and gallery staff and volunteers builds on themes of intercultural competence, community engagement, and relationship-building, addressed in the Multicultural Council of Saskatchewan’s presentation at last spring’s MAS Conference. The emphasis for this session is on participants' own experiences as we explore the success and challenges of integrating ethnocultural and newcomers organizations and individuals into museums and galleries. We are also seeking input for the tip sheets that we will be developing for the museum and gallery on the types of resources that would be helpful as you strive to make your museums and galleries inclusive for all.
