Children’s Museum of Atlanta has long served as a gathering place where families, educators and others come together to learn about and discuss issues important to the community.
The Museum is launching CMA Town Square: Let’s Talk About . . . a virtual interview series that aims to help families and educators learn about and discuss issues important to our community, as well as provide resources that can help those families have deeper conversations. Weekly guest speakers will discuss topics such as systematic racism, equity in education, mental health and more. During this important time in history, the Children’s Museum of Atlanta is proud to offer a program that helps families to dig deeper on how to raise children who want to work to create a more diverse, inclusive and equitable society for all.
Each session will be 30 minutes long, allowing 20 minutes of interview time with the guest speaker and up to 10 minutes of audience Q&A. The sessions will take place on Facebook live stream and will be posted on the Children’s Museum of Atlanta YouTube channel with a list of resources.
