Creating Meaningful and Inclusive Museum Practices
International Council of Museums
The MOOC explored practices for museums to ensure the inclusion of people who, for whatever reason, have been denied involvement in mainstream economic, political, cultural, and social activities. It also encouraged a reflection on the challenges faced by institutions and practitioners. The participants could broaden their perspective on the role of contemporary museums in community engagement and equip themselves with the skills to develop meaningful and inclusive museum projects.
