This half-day workshop is an opportunity for museum education professionals to transform their relationship to the uncertainty we’re all living with. Participants will select from a series of short exercises, each using one of the following modalities to help address uncertainty:- Encounter the New with Curiosity
- Accept Impermanence
- Remix & Rewrite Your Story
- Imagine Alternatives
- Learn to Play as a Grown-Up
After these exercises, participants will engage in small-group work to use what they’ve learned from the previous exercises in a hypothetical scenario created at random.
