Museums, participation & society: a dialogue between European practices

28-30 June 2010

Amsterdam, Netherlands

 

Discussions regarding the social role of museum, participation and the democratization of museum tools and processes have become a priority in many countries. Different approaches and solutions are being developed in different places. MINOM invited professionals and practitioners from European countries to share their views and solutions to issues that affect us all.

The workshop dealt with the following topics and initiatives:

Topics: Different approaches to the social role of museums and heritage: from development to social inclusion; new social practices based on knowledge networks, informational networks and communities of practices; upcoming tendencies in sociomuseology.

Initiatives: Creation of a global knowledge network of heritage and development (former interactions-online website); I European Meeting of Museology students and the creation of a network of museology students
