Welcome to the ASTC Community

Participate in discussions, share resources, and connect with museum and informal education professionals around the world, all within the ASTC Community. Join the General Forum to discuss any topic, or participate in a Community of Practice to chat about a particular shared interest.

ASTC is refreshing our Communities of Practice (CoPs) and providing additional support to CoPs and CoP leaders.

To make it easier to find active CoPs, we are archiving CoPs that are no longer active.

Interested in taking on a leadership role? Read our guidance for serving as a CoP Captain and email membership@astc.org if you’re interested. Want to start a new CoP or revive an archived one? Please complete this form.

For any other questions, please email membership@ASTC.org.

Thanks for being a part of this community!
