ASTC and the Advocates for Diversity Community of Practice will host a webinar entitled "What Are You Really Saying? Cracking Your Institution's Cultural Code" on Wednesday, September 25, at 2:00pm Eastern.

Do you know what messages you're sending to your community? Whether you realize it or not, museums, science centers, and other institutions are continually sending subtle messages to visitors that are not always welcoming. Every culture has patterns in verbal and non-verbal communication known as "cultural codes." Join ASTC and the Advocates for Diversity Community of Practice for a webinar Wednesday, September 25, at 2:00pm Eastern for a webinar that will explore cultural coding in museums and science centers, the challenges cultural coding can pose, and what you can do to create and welcoming and inclusive environment at your institution.
