Plan C LIVE: Informal Learning

From the creator

COVID-19 has shut down many organizations that provide community-based "informal" learning. Museums, science centers as well as Boys and Girls Clubs have been closed and staff furloughed in many cases. In this week’s Plan C Live program we talk to individuals who work in these organizations and how they are coping with the shutdown and how they might be able to re-open and serve their communities in the coming months. We look at how the shutdown of museums and science centers impacted our communities and limited important informal learning opportunities and discuss what might be possible to do in the coming months.
