 [Register on the Met Museum website.](https://www.metmuseum.org/events/programs/met-speaks/symposia/people-a-global-dialogue-on-museums-and-their-publics/day-3)

 In this three-day series of conversations, hear from an international array of scholars, artists, writers, performers, and activists as they share their ideas about how museums engage with people locally and globally. A set of open questions, rather than preset descriptions, frame each of the program sessions.

 **Session 5: Community Partnership  
1–3 pm**

 **Questions**  
• From the perspective of communities, what are innovative methods and challenges of museum–community partnerships and collaborations?  
• What is the role of ethics in this work?   
• How do museums serve as public resources or platforms that center the needs of communities rather than the needs of institutions?
