The event featured discussions with the Chair of the FEMM Committee and the Chair of the CULT Committee on the role of culture in addressing societal issues. NEMO’s Secretary General, Julia Pagel, presented the NEMO barometer on political influence, while reaffirming NEMO’s commitment to defending the integrity, independence, and resilience of museums across Europe. NEMO advocates for a European framework ensuring the freedom of cultural institutions, which provide space for critical reflection and artistic expression. The event ended with the official opening of the EP's "Changemakers" Exhibition.
