While the Covid-19 crisis is not yet over, and as the global community is called upon to tackle the challenge of social equity and the climate emergency, museums and cultural organisations are already thinking about their new position in the world.
The CoMuseum 2021 will explore the repositioning of museums so that they are ready to take on their new role through a human-centred approach, with new tools, skills and leadership models.
Some of the topics that the CoMuseum 2021 will address include sustainability and digital strategies; the future of content in relation to collections, curating and storytelling; the social impact of cultural organisations; and the role of museums in the climate crisis.
The three-day conference is admission-free (upon registration) and the working language is English.
