The Working Group Resilience and Care contributes to a shared understanding of key concepts, needs and practices around care and organisational resilience in museum work. We aim to centre experience-based expertise and encourage sharing and learning from each other.

Our Actions

  • We reflect on the various concepts of care and resilience in museum work, drawing from experience, existing ideas and cross-sector approaches.
  • We map needs and experiences related to care and organisational resilience in museums across Europe - what works only on paper, what works in everyday tasks? How can organisations support their staff?
  • We collect practical methods to promote care-driven collaboration.

We are currently working on...

  • Setting up the group, which was established in October 2025, and getting to know each other.
  • Formulate shared principles and starting points for building more caring and resilient museum organisations.
  • Developing a practical toolkit-format to help museums across Europe engage with care and resilience.

Next Meeting

  • Will soon be announced.
