Past Programming

Throughout the year, the MCA hosts high-quality professional development programming, open to teachers of all subjects, grade levels, and disciplines. These events are educator-specific, skills-based trainings on contemporary arts integration. Programs are designed in connection with the cultural assets of the MCA and the needs of the Chicago area educators. In keeping with addressing issues of relevance, the 2023–24 Learning Series is a four-part series focused on the impact of food apartheid in education.
We use the term apartheid as it acknowledges the existence of economic and racial segregation systems—and as history has shown us, apartheid systems can be dismantled through collective action. Throughout the series, we explore ways to develop community-based solutions to address food insecurity and inequity.
