BE MUSEUMER Webinar I From Museum Education to Public Engagement I Margherita Sani
Channel: BE MUSEUMER
Date: 2022-08-03

One of the biggest challenges museums face nowadays has to do with the increased number and variety of activities addressed to the public, or, better, to the publics. The concept of audience development translates into the numerous practices museums put into place in order to satisfy the needs both of the audience and of the funders. The term public engagement - as opposed to education – therefore better reflects what museum educators currently do.
The webinar looks at this shift, using examples and case studies from different institutions in Europe.

Following the first training opportunity, which was exclusive to museum workers in the South Caucasus region, a free webinar on the same topic and led by the same facilitator was organised.

Margherita Sani is adjunct professor at University of Bologna, Italy, and project coordinator at NEMO – the Network of European Museum Organisations, where she leads the Working Group LEM –the Learning Museum and manages the Erasmus+ funded project CHARTER - the Cultural Heritage Skills Alliance.
From 1985 to 2021 she worked at the Institute for Artistic, Cultural and Natural Heritage of Emilia Romagna, focusing on museums and quality systems and European planning for museums.
An active member of several professional museum associations and networks, Margherita has been on the Jury of the Children in Museums Award since 2014.
