ICOM Canada invites museum professionals, academics, students, and cultural practitioners to participate in a new five-part webinar series, Shaping Museums for a Connected World, taking place weekly from January to February 2026. Open to both ICOM members and non-members, this online training series explores how museums of all sizes and types can build meaningful international connections, navigate global challenges, and strengthen their capacity for impactful cross-border work.
Across five themed sessions, expert speakers and panellists from across Canada and beyond will examine the global dimensions of museum practice—from ethical collection stewardship and international exhibitions to professional development, networks, and sector-wide challenges such as Indigeneity, migration, and climate change. Each 60-minute webinar invites dialogue and reflection, offering practical tools and insights that participants can apply to their own institutional and professional contexts.
Designed to foster learning, collaboration, and sector-wide capacity building, this series supports museum workers in developing the skills and networks needed to navigate an increasingly interconnected world.
