This year the Committee for Education and Cultural Activities of the International Council of Museums will hold its annual conference in Athens, addressing the theme: “Delicate topics, challenging audiences”.
The Conference will focus on museum education activities that:
- attempt to discuss complex and sensitive topics
- try to shed light on unknown aspects of cultural heritage and misinterpreted historical events
- aim at attracting new audiences or welcoming historically marginalized groups.
