Sustaining Engagement: High Schoolers and History

April 7, 2023, 12:00-1:30 p.m.

A conversation with Bob Nasson of the Concord Review, Carina Ohlen of RevSpaces, and Elyssa Tardif and Simbrit Paskins of Mass Historical, moderated by Salem State Professor Margo Shea

How do historical organizations build new audiences and partners in our communities? What brings young people through the door? How are we reaching and partnering effectively with high school students? How can we inspire interest and passion about the past and help build connections between past, present and future that are relevant to young people? Join us on April 7 to hear from a panel from Massachusetts Historical Society, Revolutionary Spaces, and the Concord Review to explore and brainstorm best practices for engaging young people in history and historical thinking! Moderated by Margo Shea of Salem State.
