Permalink: https://www.eventscribe.com/2019/AAMers/fsPopup.asp?mode=presInfo&PresentationID=490175

How can museums sustainably engage teens? This engagement exists within four Bay Area museums that collectively activate arts education and social justice curricula in informal learning environments. Representatives of these institutions discuss approaches for engaging teens through programs and internships that support art, activism, community, and twenty-first century learning skills. Share your own processes and challenges as we unpack the current culture of teen engagement in museums.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify strategic ways on how to engage teen audiences in their own institution.
• Employ tips and strategies to introduce social justice programming and curriculum to your teen programs.
• Use the tips and methods provided for creating a support group of nearby museum educators to aid in the creation or sustaining of teen programs in their own institutions.
