Cultural Diplomacy Conference



We are excited to kick off the 2023 - 24 Model UN program next month with our Cultural Diplomacy Conference at the Penn Museum!

Later this month, you will receive an email from the Penn Museum with your itinerary and important field trip details about chaperone requirements, arrivals and departures and museum protocol.

Before the Conference, please have your students complete the Everyone Has a Culture Worksheet if possible and bring it with them to the Conference.

For the Cultural Diplomacy Conference, there is no dress code, although we recommend comfortable shoes for touring the galleries!

If you plan to extend your stay and self-tour, please contact Kate Whitman Kamara with your planned departure time at kkamara@wacphila.org. Please note that groups should leave the museum no later than 2:00 PM.

For any questions, please contact Kate Whitman Kamara Director of Education - Middle School, at kkamara@wacphila.org or at 215-561-4700 ext. 216.
