Seven members from the NEMO Working Group Sustainability and Climate Action participated in the study visit, deepening discussions and sharing practical tools for a more sustainable museum community.
A significant portion of the visit was dedicated to a workshop aimed at refining the outcomes of the group's previous working session, which took place in Lahti, Finland, as part of NEMO’s last European Museum Conference: “and... ACTION! Museums in the climate crisis”. This workshop provided a focused environment for participants to critically analyse and build upon their previous efforts. One of the highlights of the visit was a hybrid discussion on participative methods for developing sustainable museums and communities.
Participants also had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the cultural offerings of the region. They were treated to a delightful accordion performance during the monthly 'First Sunday at the Museum' event and had the privilege of exploring multiple local museums situated in a region rich with archaeological discoveries and heritage.
