The theme for InterActivity 2026 highlights the importance of fostering belonging and connection as the foundation for resilience. Through this theme, children’s museums are called to intentionally craft inclusive spaces where all feel seen, valued and supported. The conference will inspire museum professionals to explore innovative strategies that strengthen both their institutions and communities while emphasizing the role of resilience within museum teams. Together, we will reimagine how museums can act as catalysts for meaningful engagement, cultural understanding, and collective well-being.
