Inspiring Visitor Action: Museums as Catalysts of Social Change
Saturday, June 23 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Monterey, CA

Pre-registration is strongly suggested. Space is limited!
Pre-registered attendees will receive admission to the Aquarium plus up to 3 complimentary family/guest tickets for the day of the program.

Program description:
What is your museum doing to inspire visitors? Have you seen exhibits or heard about programs that challenged the status quo, or made you want to live, work, or act differently?

Museums can be wonderful forums for the discussion of social and environmental topics relevant to their communities. Some museums also hope to enable or inspire visitors to take action on important issues, using exhibits and programs to further their social justice and environmental missions. Panelists from Monterey Bay Aquarium and the Capital Unity Council will discuss their efforts to communicate a strong message that inspires their visitors to take specific actions while at the museum or in their community.

Please come prepared to discuss examples of projects you've done, seen, or hope to get off the ground some day.
