Protection and Prevention;
Testing and Vaccination, a new module that presents current information

“Museums do more than keep and house the past; they are active participants in current events,” said Michelle Stempien, the museum’s education and community programs manager. “As dialogues on diversity, equity, access and inclusion continue throughout our community, the Holland Museum is pleased to contribute these two programs about fair housing practices to the conversation. It is especially important to discuss this topic with children and their families as young people will be the future leaders and changemakers in the struggle to create safe and equitable spaces for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ members of our community.”

A program that teaches teachers how to incorporate culture into their classrooms has moved into several communities in Southeast Alaska. The program “Thru the Cultural Lens” is run by Sealaska Heritage Institute. It’s been in some of Juneau’s secondary schools for about seven years but this year it’s expanding to five K-12 school districts in smaller communities in the region.
