After gaining professional experience in Germany and abroad—particularly in the cultural and economic sectors—she has served as Officer for Cultural Participation at the Landesmuseum Württemberg in Stuttgart, Germany, since 2024.

At NEMO’s European Museum Conference 2025, Elfi Carle and Olivia Braun will facilitate the workshop “Towards collective resilience: Reflecting organisational wellbeing” on Monday, 27 October. 

Workshop abstract: 

Towards collective resilience: Reflecting organisational wellbeing 

How can we build organisational structures that foster intersectional wellbeing and enable genuine, solidarity-based resilience - rather than relying on isolated measures or the limited feedback that reaches leadership? The ability to communicate needs is often tied to privilege and specific skills, meaning that many voices remain unheard. This workshop understands resilience as a social competence rooted in strong, supportive systems - systems that recognise that not everything must, or should, be endured.   

Together, we will reflect on the structural conditions that support wellbeing in museum organisations, share practical strategies, and explore how care and collective resilience can be embedded into the institutional fabric.
