Made By Us: Closing the Goal Gap for Gen Z with Caroline Klibanoff

Update 06-03-24: The recording for this event is now available in the Recordings Library: https://community.museumprogress.com/c/on-demand-programs/made-by-us-closing-the-goal-gap-for-gen-z-with-caroline-klibanoff Museums have institutional goals and priorities; Data show that younger people don't share those goals and priorities. This poses a challenge for museums: To what degree are museums' metrics for success actually undermining their ability to support and connect with younger audiences? How can cultural organizations close the gap between their goals and what younger audiences need and want? These are a few of the challenging questions that @Caroline Klibanoff and her team at Made By Us are addressing with their coalition partners. I'm happy to announce that Caroline will be our special guest for the final session of the MaP Community's 2024 winter/spring season. This session is free, and registration is not necessary. Members can RSVP above↗ to receive a reminder email before the event begins. If you're not a member, you can join the session here when the event begins. An edited recording will be shared with Supporting and Museum Members in the recordings library. About Caroline@Caroline Klibanoff works at the intersection of civic engagement, history and culture.
