Safe Zone is a DEI training that is offered on many college campuses. It provides a brave space for participants to learn how to be better allies and build a more accepting community for LGBTQ+ individuals. This training takes the college-focused Safe Zone content and retools it specifically for museum professionals. Attendees will be equipped to develop basic strategies, understanding, and language with which to better communicate with and serve LGBTQ+ people. Whether Safe Zone is familiar to you or not, there is always a new perspective to gain. Join us to help us make our museums a respite for our LGBTQ+ visitors, colleagues, and communities.

This program is FREE for SEMC members and $10 for not-yet-members.
