Our mission: Improving the relationship between museums/heritage sites and their visitors as well as making museums more popular among visitors. We also support museums /heritage sites in becoming more sustainable by strengthening their community relations and becoming socially more sensitive and active.
Our objectives: organizing conferences, workshops and seminars on topics that help museums enhance their visitor relations;
organizing museum education activities;
producing books that help museum professionals in engaging their visitors better;
participating in intercultural/international exchanges, projects;
participating in research on the above-mentioned topics;
operating a library for museum professionals.
Currently we participate in EU-funded project titled Community Exhibitions as Tools for Adults' Individual Development. Last year we had a project on making museums more accessible for disabled people as well as different groups of the community. We also participated in other EU funded projects titled Museums as Places for Intercultural Dialogue (2007-2009) and Museum Literacy: Less educated visitors in museums (2008-2010). We have organized workshops and focus discussions as part of a project supported by the EEA Grant, this project was titled Museums' greater social involvement.
We can share our results and learnings that we experienced and aquired during our work in the project titled as MAP for ID (Museums as Places for Intercultural Dialogues) collated in the attached Handbook (see below).
We would like to extend the scope of our work from the exclusively European region to Euro-Meditarrenean region. We would also like to meet and cooperate with new organizations in the area of intercultural dialogue.
