Museum professionals, educators, researchers, cultural and creative practitioners, civil society organisations, community groups, and policymakers from across Europe are invited to join the newly launched TOWCHED Network to explore together how cultural heritage can contribute to just and sustainable development.

The TOWCHED Network is launched by the TOWCHED project, of which NEMO is a project partner. The Network offers a space for collaboration and mutual learning around the use of cultural heritage and creativity to support Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), inclusion, and human rights.

Joining the Network enables you to:

  • Exchange practices with peers across Europe
  • Access tools, resources, and research developed through the TOWCHED project
  • Participate in TOWCHED trainings and collaborative learning activities
  • Contribute to the further development of the TOWCHED methodology
  • Connect with professionals working on culture, education, inclusion, human rights, and sustainability

Learn more in an online info event

On 7 September 2026 the TOWCHED network is organising its first online meeting. Participants will get to explore practical tools, learn from museum pilot experiences, connect with peers from across Europe, and help shape the future direction of the Network.

The Network as well as the info event is open to anyone working in a museum, school, university, cultural organisation, community initiative, civil society organisation, public institution, cultural or creative practice or similar.
