Museums and Lifelong Learning

Museums are ideal places to provide settings, resources and inspirations for a wide reaching

and diverse range of both informal and formal learning activities addressing adults of various

kinds and with different needs.

Museums promote creativity by allowing people to engage with collections, artifacts and artworks. They are well-placed to offer adults a variety of learning opportunities, from subject learning to more imaginative and creative ones.

Some activities carried out by museums in Europe and addressed to adults also aim at combating social exclusion, educating to active citizenship, sustaining intercultural dialogue and contributing to personal development.

The project "MumAE" sustains the development of innovative practices and creative partnerships which can offer routes to reach new users, enhance learning provisions and increase the number of these opportunities for adult learners all over Europe. 

With the support of the Grundtvig Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union.     MumAE has been funded with support from the European Commission.
