"WINNING HEARTS AND MINDS:
Strategies for Effective Public Programming"
March 8 - 13, 1999
Cultural Resource Management Program
University of Victoria
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Many museums today place public programming at the centre of their
activities, recognizing that they must attract and develop larger and
more diverse audiences, and ensure the experiences these audiences are
offered combine celebration, recreation, and education. This course
examines how museums can best achieve popular, accessible, financially
sustainable public programming, which also respects and reflects their
collections and research. Through readings, discussion, case studies,
and site visits, you will develop your abilities to:
* define your public programming goals and priorities
* identify and analyze internal and external issues critical to
your success
* plan strategically and manage, implement and evaluate programs
* understand the programming implications of current issues:
multicultural perspectives, emerging technologies, accessibility, new
learning theories, globalization
* use others' best practices to your own advantage
This course involves a preparatory assignment.

of Natural History, draws on extensive experience in public
