Watt's Up? - ENVi Silver Linings 6 [Past Event]
Thu 15 Oct, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
We’re all vying for audiences and who better than the Penguin Parade to tell us how it’s done. (Can you believe they had over 1 million viewers over 2 parade days!). Skye Nichol, Visitor Experience Ranger from Phillip Island Nature Parks, joins former State Library Victoria education officer and now comedian, Josh Earl and former Melbourne Museum presenter, cartoonist, comedian, author Bernard Caleo on the metaphorical couch with our very own secret comedian – Patrick Watt – to discuss all things museum education.
Bring your own (whatevers) to this evening event of learnings, laughs and alliterations. There will be time for what if’s, fancy thats, how nows, answers and questions. Patrick may even throw some of those questions your way.We invite you to attend our sixth in this corona-inspired-series with an open mind, generosity of spirit and willingness to apply your zoomy jazz hands. Time to take a deep breath, relax and enjoy what it means to be a cultural organisation educator today.
