BCMA Podcast: Inspiring Museum Educators

Join our host Lorenda for a conversation about the new Inspiring Museum Educators Bursary. Established with the support of Dr. Lisa McIntosh in 2023, this bursary encourages the pursuit of excellence in education within the museum, gallery, and heritage sector. The Inspiring Museum Educators Bursary provides up to $2,000 for staff or volunteers of BC Museums Association’s Institutional or Individual Members, to engage in an educational opportunity (course, seminar, workshop, or conference) that supports the development of new skills, innovative approaches and novel ways of thinking about teaching and learning in informal settings.
