[Shelby Marshall]

Hi all,

A friend at Games for Change sent the following email to us at FableVision. 
It's about a very cool game design program that is looking for museums in NYC, 
LA, Atlanta, and Detroit.

Enjoy!

Greetings,

I hope this email finds you well! Games for Change 
 has been working with the Institute of Museum 
and Library Services  on a brand new program called Game 
Plan and looking for museums to participate. 

Game Plan is a new program to integrate game design into museum education 
programs while adapting methods and materials from Games for Change’s Student 
Challenge . The program will 
run from November 2020 to June 2021. The goals of the initiative are to provide 
professional development to museum educators and employees related to game 
design, strengthen museum ties to communities, and improve learning outcomes 
for youth. These goals have even greater urgency now during the COVID-19 
pandemic, as museums face unprecedented disruption and must forge new ways of 
connecting with communities that need the services of cultural institutions 
more than ever. 

The core components of the Game Plan initiative include:
An open application to the program to museums and educators in our target 
cities (NYC, LA, Atlanta and Detroit), forging learning cohorts. 
New online professional development training for educators (3 courses), 
tentatively scheduled for November, February and April;
Downloadable materials for museum educators and students for home learning and 
game creation; 
Virtual game jams and office hours for interactive learning and skills building;
A Student Challenge theme on resilience to encourage teens to creatively 
respond to COVID-19, addressing how well-being for themselves, in their homes, 
and communities; and
Culminating events (virtual if necessary)  in each city that exhibit games and 
celebrate student achievement by awarding juried prizes that encourage further 
learning and exploration.

We are thrilled to bring this program to 10 museum education departments in 4 
cities (Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York) across the US and offer a 
stipend to the museum to cover the costs associated with participation. 

If you are interested in applying to become a part of this program, you can 
access the application here: bit.ly/gameplan_app . 
If you have questions, or would like to know any other information, we are 
happy to set up a call. I hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you!

Senior Director of Programs and Partnerships

[MCN-L] We are here to help! Join us tonight for Memes 2.0

[Matthew Whitman]

Hello,


I hope everyone is well and taking care. Needing a break from waiting on
the US election result? Doomscrolling?


Back by popular demand - Memes 2.0 is here to help.



If you are free, I warmly invite you to join us LIVE via Zoom for
Considering.Art™ : Considering Memes 2.0, tonight 7- 8:30PM EST.


Registration is FREE and open to all:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/considering-art-considering-memes-20-registration-124954547415?aff=Tonight


Following a lively and insightful discussion during the original
Considering Memes presentation - get ready, as this time, we dive deeper
into the vast ocean that is meme culture.


Leading us further along the threads of conversation that formed back in
September, we invite you to join us as together we further explore: the
analog origins of memes, meme generation/creation, questions of
authorship/ownership, and a foray into meme genres/sub-genres.


Where does a meme ‘begin’ and ‘end’? What happens when a meme is not
humorous? Can a meme be radical? Together, in Considering Memes 2.0, we’ll
continue our dissection of this ubiquitous yet under-explored cultural
phenomenon.


We look forward to hearing from you all online later today and thank you
for your continued support of our new, collaborative platform.


All the very best,

Matthew
