This is not your grandfather's webinar

So, The National Consortium for Creative Placemaking is doing webinars. And they cover a lot of ground that’s timely -- cultural competency, resilience, financing, healing, economic recovery and more. But is it going to be the same-old, same-old?

C’mon, we’re NCCP! We don’t do the same-old, same-old.

You’ll get insights from experts on ways to help communities heal and recover faster and become more resilient through local arts and cultural activities.

But wait, there’s more!

It’s going to be a more social experience than you usually get in other webinars. We’ll give you plenty of time and space to share your thoughts, recommendations and questions. And we’re offering a half hour after the webinar for you to share your thoughts and build connections in small groups. (You know, like you do at roundtables in a conference. Except you’ll have to bring your own snacks and beverages.)

Oh, and all the webinars have been approved, or will be submitted for 1 AICP Certification Maintenance credit eadh. C’est lagniappe.

You can get each webinar for $20, or buy a 12-pack for $192. I’d go for the bundle. Not only is it a better deal, but you’re also helping a nonprofit organization provide free and low-cost programming to support cultural economies and help grow more inclusive, sustainable, prosperous and just communities.
