It is important that these meetings do not only involve project planning but also include joint activities at the museum where the meeting is taking place. This is necessary for an understanding of each other's working situation. It is not possible to be sensitive about something you are not aware of when this is placed in relation to your own, familiar and experienced working situation. If we only sit down, talk and write joint plans, it will be difficult to create a project that truly reflects the interests of both parties. Education Formal, informal, academic, special and on site.
Education can mean so much, even in the museum world.
A museum is an institution with a wide-ranging work area which means it also has a staff with a wide range of skills. Working with SAMP, the Swedish museums have met colleagues who have dance troupes among their employees, for example. This is something entirely new for a Swedish museum. Within SAMP we have said that we will not provide a formal, long training. An exchange programme is not a structure that can or should organize such training.
