PROPOSED SESSION FOR NEXT YEAR'S ASTC CONFERENCE:
MEDIA-SCIENCE CENTER PARTNERSHIPS

I am interested in putting together a session for next year's ASTC conference 
-- workshop format or interactive in spirit -- that focuses on media/science 
center or museum partnerships. In the spirit of next year's conference theme 
of "sustaining institutional advancement" -- and the related issues of building 
audiences and sustaining informal learning, I am especially interested in 
partnerships that provide informal learners with an integrated "menu" of learning 
experiences that are designed to engage, motivate, and enhance continued 
learning.

I currently direct such a project, Celebra la Ciencia, an informal science 
partnership that combines the use of mass media (Spanish-language radio & 
newspapers) with community outreach provided by science centers and other informal 
science organizations.  Just to be clear, I am interested in partnerships 
involving any languages.

Please let me know if you are interested in the session.

For more information on the project, you can access the project website:
http://www.celebralaciencia.org/
(Note: a completely new project website will be up in approximately two 
months.)

Please let me know if you are interested in being a facilitator/presenter at 
such as session.

I apologize for this repeat listing; my earlier notice was unclear about 
where the session was to be held.

Thank you.
