In cooperation with the General Directorate of Museums of the Ministry of Culture

The Museum is called to promote and foster knowledge of cultural heritage, as a tool for individual and collective growth, and to ensure its sustainability through transmission to future generations. In order to meet the new cultural and educational needs, the Museum directs its action toward diversified learning processes with respect to the social contexts of reference, the use of innovative practices and digital, new museum paths, and the involvement and active participation of citizenship for new and better forms of accessibility to cultural heritage. The experiences gained by the different museum realities,-in dialogue two institutes belonging to the Ministry of Culture, a Foundation and a civic museum,-will provide an opportunity for reflection on the social and educational role of the museum through the exploration of various themes: skills and professionalism; inclusive tools and projects; transversal and integrated paths through networks and cooperation with universities and schools, local authorities and Associations, including through co-design and special forms of partnership; strategies for bringing “disadvantaged” social categories closer together and promoting cultural diversity.
