NEMO joined discussion organised in connection to the French Presidency of the EU

On 9 December 2021, NEMO Chair David Vuillaume contributed to a discussion organised by ICOM France on what it means for museums to be European today.

Considering the upcoming French Presidency of the Council of the European Union, ICOM France invited museums to reflect upon shared values within a shared, but varied, region. The event gave museums a platform to bring forward important museum topics to political stakeholders. Topics included, amongst others, museum definitions, decolonisation, mobility, digitalisation and the various levels of access to digital, the health crisis as well as the place of the community.
