- Online sessions and live programme in the Netherlands
How are we - museum professionals around the world - dealing with colonial collections? How do we critically engage with the museum’s own histories and reflect on their role in society in the face of these challenges? How can we handle collections created and collected during colonial times in more caring and ethical ways? How do we navigate and react to contestations over certain histories and heritage?
This knowledge exchange programme brings together a group of young professionals from around the world working in museums or collection-managing organisations to reflect on these questions and to exchange knowledge and experiences regarding their working practices.
The online sessions will take place between thursday 18 September and Friday 14 November. The live programme in the Netherlands will take place from Wednesday 29 October to Wednesday 5 November.
