9:00AM - 5:00PM

 Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site - Buffalo, NY <http://www.trsite.org/>


This full-day, hands-on training session provides an introduction to
facilitated dialogue.  This interpretive technique allows museums to better
connect with their visitors and engage in conversations about critical
issues.  It has been used with great success at museums like the Lower East
Side Tenement Museum.



Led by Sarah Pharaon<http://www.sitesofconscience.org/leaders/sarah-pharaon/>,
Program Director at the International Coalition of Sites of
Conscience<http://www.sitesofconscience.org/>,
participants will explore what makes dialogue such an effective tool in
museum settings.  Case studies, coupled with participatory activities and
discussion, will demonstrate how facilitated dialogue techniques can be
used successfully with audiences of all ages and various learning styles.
Participants will leave with a "toolkit" of proven strategies they can take
home and put into practice at their organizations.



Who Should Attend:  This session is perfect for staff and dedicated
volunteers from museums that would like to engage with their visitors in a
more active and meaningful way, but aren't sure where/how to start.
Facilitated dialogue training will not only benefit museum educators, tour
guides, and staff responsible for public programming, but also museum
studies students.



Cost (includes boxed lunch): $20 MANY Members/$25 Nonmembers
