Attendees will learn how to equip their students with the knowledge and skills to be more accepting of different identities\, to be aware of how to treat their peers\, to have agency in defending who they are\, and to affirm the identities of themselves and their peers. The session will be led by Madelyn Morrison\, Director of The Bryson Institute of The Attic Youth Center\, which offers dynamic\, interactive\, and educational trainings around best practices for working with LGBTQ individuals.  \nFolk Arts and Education: Power in Partnerships with Philadelphia Folklore Project | 6:15PM  \ncurriculum discussion and Liberian folk art demonstration  \nLed by the Philadelphia Folklore Project (PFP) and affiliated artists\, this presentation discusses how incorporating folk arts into lesson plans can create more involved\, dynamic\, and memorable activities for students\, leading to better critical engagement. Folk arts-driven curricula create teaching and learning opportunities that allow both adults and children to draw on community cultural knowledge as resources for facing challenging issues and furnish educators with ability to meet the needs of diverse populations. PFP is a nationally recognized folk arts organization\, founded in 1987 to support vital and diverse living cultural heritages in urban communities by assisting artists who use folk art in service of social change. Folk arts and education partnerships is one of the key means in which they accomplish this\, as evidenced by their co-founding of the Folk Arts-Cultural Treasures Charter School (FACTS) in 2005.  \nSelf-Guided Tours of the NLM’s Signature Galleries and Featured Exhibitions | ongoing  \nGet exclusive access to all of our exhibit galleries and explore Strength & Fragility: The Story of the NLM\, Heroes from Around the World\, the inspiring Flame of Liberty by Dale Chihuly\, and our featured exhibitions Craftivism: Activism Through Craft and Deconstructing Bowie: Freedom in Eccentricity.  \nMeet & Greet with NLM Education Staff | ongoing  \nLearn about the museum’s school program offerings\, including virtual and on-site field trips for elementary through high school students and our long-standing\, year-long Young Heroes Outreach Program for students in grades 4-8.  \nPhiladelphia Music History Games & Activities | ongoing  \nTry your hand at arranging David Bowie’s most memorable moments in a timeline\, use your reasoning skills in a Philadelphia-centric game of High/Low\, and do your best to arrange some top albums from the city’s history.
