About the NEMO European Museum Conference 2024:
The NEMO European Museum Conference seeks to explore the power museums have to face polarisation in our increasingly divided societies. As cultural institutions face mounting pressure amidst massive societal challenges, this conference provides a platform for museum professionals to discuss strategies, share experiences, and develop tools to address these issues.
Key Themes this years conference:
1. Museums' role in tackling polarisation: Exploring how museums can use their collections and programming to bridge societal divides and unite communities.
2. Navigating political pressures: Discussing strategies for museums caught in socio-political debates.
3. Empowering underrepresented groups: Examining how cultural institutions can ensure historically underrepresented voices are heard and represented in polarising times.
The conference will feature engaging panels, participatory sessions, and hands-on workshops designed to equip professionals with practical tools for addressing these challenges. Additionally, attendees will have several networking opportunities with fellow museum and cultural professionals from across Europe, along with cultural tours in Sibiu to explore Romania's rich heritage.
Eligibility:
The conference is open to museum professionals, cultural workers, and individuals interested in the role of museums in addressing societal challenges.
