Each summer, the British Museum's International Training Programme (ITP) brings together museum professionals from around the world for an intensive residency focused on collaboration, professional development, and knowledge sharing. This year, Mingei Collections Fellow Sedna Villavicencio joined the program, working alongside colleagues from more than 18 countries and visiting partner institutions throughout the United Kingdom. In this Coffee & Conversations, Sedna will share insights from her experience and reflect on the role of Indigenous and BIPOC museum professionals in shaping the future of cultural institutions. Drawing from her collaborations with the British Museum, Lincoln Museum, and the University of Nottingham Museum, she will explore the challenges, opportunities, and possibilities for creating meaningful change within museums today.

The City of Carlsbad’s popular EGGstravaganza Spring Festival returns. This annual spring event features Carlsbad’s largest egg hunt, an ongoing egg scramble where kids race to collect candy-filled eggs. Don't forget to bring your basket! Face-painting, crafts, cookie decorating, a fun zone, soak the bunny and more. Food and beverages are available for purchase. Activity cards and wristbands can be purchased in advance or at the event to enjoy the activities and fun zone. No registration is needed to attend this event. How the egg scramble works The egg scramble is ongoing from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or until eggs run out. To keep the scramble fun for all ages, one field will be designated for children ages 6 and over who want to race for their eggs, and an identical one will be for children ages 5 and under. There is also a noncompetitive field for young children, children with special needs, and for families wanting to pose for a photo opportunity. An activity card is required to participate in the egg scramble. To avoid lines during the event, $8 activity cards and $8 unlimited inflatables wristbands can be purchased three weeks in advance at city community centers. The cards can be divided among multiple children for all the activities; however, wristbands are per person. Both can be purchased at these locations Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.: Calavera Hills Community Center, 2997 Glasgow Drive Stagecoach Community Center, 3420 Camino de los Coches Alga Norte Aquatics Center, 6565 Alicante Road Pine Avenue Community Center, 3209 Harding St. Event may modify or cancel due to inclement weather.

The Climate Fresk is an interactive workshop that raises awareness about climate change in a fun and engaging way. Participants work in teams to arrange cards representing different aspects of climate science, creating a visual mural that illustrates the cause-and-effect relationships. The science-based workshop is led by trained facilitators and encourages collaborative learning and discussion. It is suitable for all knowledge levels and aims to inspire participants to take ambitious action on climate issues. It is engaging and accessible and makes complex scientific concepts understandable and actionable. We offer free community workshops on the first Saturday of every month. Tailor-made workshops, adapted to your group, are also available. If you'd like to bring an IGC-facilitated Climate Fresk to your organization, please contact us at climatefresk@igc.earth.
