Children today are growing up in cultural transition. They are being raised in societies, where increasing global population shifts have led to cultural diversity, or in countries, which have to cope with nation and identity building in (post-war conflict) areas, where the diversity of cultural and ethnic heritages is being recognised as a distinctive element in the country’s character.
Children’s Museums, and the Museums and Cultural Institutions sector in general have to face that cultural diversity; heritage and identity are highly relevant to their everyday activities. And although each institution is unique in its setting, exhibits and the ways in which it addresses its audience and community, there are many issues to discuss in common.
The 8th Hands on Europe conference is addressing these challenging issues. The conference will invite practitioners and experts from all over Europe and around the globe to exchange interpretations and experiences of identity, heritage and diversity in their respective countries
