partners the Concordia School of Extended Learning and the Centre for
Oral History and Digital Storytelling, is proud to present a one-day

for exchange between experienced cultural sector workers and current
and recent students, and to encourage inter-professional dialogues. The
keynote address will be presented by Mr. Dinu Bumbaru, Policy Director
for Heritage Montreal.
