An important aspect of the Association’s support for its membership is the provision of relevant and cost-effective training for museum workers in Nova Scotia. Each year we host a variety of sessions both in-person (such as at conferences, group training sessions for NovaMuse Co-op members) and virtual (such as Tuesdays on TRACK).
Museum Fundamentals is back!
Date: Oct 13, 20, 27, Nov 3, 10
Time: Tuesdays from 1 pm – 3 pm AST
Location: Online (Zoom)
Facilitator: Karin Kierstead, ANSM Programs Manager
This course introduces:
The course format offers a combination of lecture, group discussion and exercises. It provides an excellent opportunity for new museum board members, new staff, consultants and government staff to receive a good overview of what museums are all about and the role they play in society. It is also an opportunity for mid- and late-career professionals to learn changes in the sector.
