Our societies are facing massive and disruptive challenges, and societal divisions seem to deepen by the day. Cultural institutions such as museums, therefore, are increasingly under pressure. At the NEMO European Museum Conference we will explore the power museums have to face polarisation.
Register by 20 October to secure your ticket and be part of exploring key themes and discussions concerning:
- Museums' role in tackling polarisation: How can museums use their collections and programming to bridge societal divides and unite communities?
- Navigating political pressures: What strategies should museums adopt when caught in socio-political debates?
- Empowering underrepresented groups: How can cultural institutions ensure that historically underrepresented voices are heard and represented in polarising times?
What to expect
In addition to thought-provoking discussions and panels with our speakers, the conference programme will offer a range of interactive and engaging activities, including:
- Participatory sessions designed to foster collaboration and idea-sharing among participants
- Hands-on workshops to equip professionals with practical tools to address polarisation in their own institutions
- Networking opportunities to connect with museum and cultural professionals from across Europe
- Cultural tours in Sibiu, offering a chance to explore the rich history and heritage of Romania
