This conference will explore a variety of approaches under the broad themes of:
– How do we know if our museum practice & programming is truly making an impact?
– Are we raising children’s aspirations and helping them achieve their dreams?
– How do we know if we’re really inspiring curiosity and a lifelong love of learning?
– Can we fill gaps left by an education system which may no longer meet today’s needs?
